Yes as follows:
Don't use it.
Autoplace software is terrible, the real skill in PCB design is placing components to achieve optimum layout and the best tool for that is the human brain with our pattern recognition ability.
Just to re-iterate, don't use autoplace software, learn to read the schematic and if possible use cross probing from the schematic to select the components for each bit of circuitry, group said components, then place manually referring to the schematic to determine which routes should be the shortest (eg feedback on SMPS etc,).
