what is the best way to place a component? manual-edits, pcbX and pcbY, auto-layout...?
Ispecifically, things like decoupling caps
R“best” feels subjective depending on what the intended result is. The vibe I have seen is:
If a specific component’s position is critical, then define its X and Y.
Otherwise, let auto place do its thing.
Try to avoid using manual edit if you can help it.
