How to group pads?

thanks peter
yes i am aware there are few strip boards- ready to run - but it does not include the one i am using . It would be nice to have more , but my guess is most people just build / make custom board…or use shields or hats …
and yes i have used the header and it is working as expected
reason i an having trouble grouping- the mouse keep picking the board itself and moving it instead

PS I have deleted the components designation and it make them disappear in schematic but at this point I just need a record of layout , the schematic is secondary

BTW is there any torroid ( just plain donut ) components ?
