Considering design strategy.

Outlining component movement in Flux.

Adding placement best practices.

Accessing knowledge base.

Reading docs about How to automatically place and route components in Flux PCB editor to avoid overlapping parts; options to reset placement, respect existing, and clearance/spacing settings. Steps to run Auto-Layout and review results..

Reading docs about Getting started in Flux PCB layout and routing: arranging and moving components to avoid overlaps, using alignment and spacing tools, and resolving DRC overlap issues..

Reading docs about How to arrange and move components in the PCB editor to prevent overlaps, including rotation/flip and alignment tools, from the getting started guide..

Searching for help resources.

I can’t move components in PCB view on your behalf, but here’s what the Flux documentation says about positioning parts so nothing overlaps:

“Positioning

To move a component, left-click on it and drag it to the desired position. For rotating a part, there are two options:

Right-click on the part you want to rotate and select "Rotate right" or "Rotate left."
To rotate parts quickly, use the open or close square brackets [ ]

Note: you will see that moving or rotating a component creates an Object-Specific Layout Rules with the desired position or rotation. You can edit the rule directly instead of using the UI elements.”

After you separate overlapping parts, re-run DRC to confirm all overlaps are cleared. If you want, I can change the board size to give you more room—just tell me the target width/height.

Understanding the user's request.

Clarifying layout modifications.

Planning the next steps.

Outlining the process.

Accessing knowledge base.

Checking if I can make the changes for you.

Reading docs about How to move and rotate components in Flux PCB Editor to fix overlapping placement, set keepouts, and repour copper fills; how to re-run DRC and resolve overlapping copper/floating islands..

Determining necessary actions.

I can’t reposition components for you, but here’s the most relevant entry I found related to the topic. Quoting the instructions verbatim:

“## Positioning

To move a component, left-click on it and drag it to the desired position. For rotating a part, there are two options:

Right-click on the part you want to rotate and select "Rotate right" or "Rotate left."
To rotate parts quickly, use the open or close square brackets [ ]

Once you’ve spaced parts so nothing overlaps, tell me and I’ll pull a fresh review to confirm all DRC overlaps are cleared.
