Assembling components

In the component placement tab I am unable to get the "placement" drop-down box to open.  It won't open on an existing placed component or to assemble a new component. 

 

Thank you in advance.

My first guess: when you open a part to assemble, it will be hanging on your mouse curser (moves with your mouse). You need to place it by clicking left into your assembly or open space (anywhere). Now you should be able to use the placement drop-down.

The component to be assembled appears on the screen and I'm able to drag etc. When I go to the upper left hand corner to the "placement" tab the "collector" option box will not open.

Before going to "placement" tab, did you try placing the part somewhere in the room by just clicking left, so it's not moving with your mouse anymore? I know this is a very simple approach to your maybe more difficult problem but I'd try it as a start 😉
