Turn your EAGLE schematic into a PCB

Step 2 Menu commands used

The Board Editor looks a lot like the schematic editor, with some different commands.
Here's a summary of the iconic commands that I use in this instructable, and some brief summaries:

INFO Shows information about an object (component, signal, trace, etc.)
MOVE Allows components to be moved (same as schematic.)
GROUP Groups a collection of objects into a "group" that can be manipulated simultaneously.
DELETE Delete an object. Items created in schematics need to be deleted there.
SMASH Separate the text labels of a part from the part itself, so they can be moved independently.
BREAK Add a corner to a line (or trace.)
ROUTE turn an airwire into a trace
LINE draw lines (usually in non-copper layers. ROUTE is for drawing copper.)
VIA create a hole and pad associated with some signal. (actually, we'll use a text command.)
HOLE a hole that isn't associated with a signal, ie for mounting.
RATSNEST recomputes airwires and polygons, eg after components have been moved.
CHANGE changes an object's properties.
RIPUP changes a routed trace back to an airwire. Sorta equivilent to "delete" for traces.
TEXT add text
POLYGON create a polygon (actually, we'll use a text command.)
AUTOROUTE invoke the autorouter.
DRC invoke the Design Rule Check and parameter setting.

I'll describe the remaining icons toward the end, and assign them "useful" or "useless."
