Step 2) This step take the smaller square and place it in the center of one of the other ones, to line it up perfectly use the alignment tool and select horizontal and vertical. once this is center group the 2 together. now insert a small circle this circle needs to be a bit bigger that most screw heads, this size is a rough guess as most screw heads are pretty commonly sized the same. In addition to the small circle also add a small rectangle.
