The program is easy enough to use.
Launch the program.
on the bottom left choose the device type you want in your topology (switch, router, etc)
in the box to the right select the specifc model
click in the design box and it places the selected device in the main box
double click the device and you have tabs to add hardware to router etc, or select CLI to configure.
To add cards to a router it must be turned off, click the power button on the device to turn on or off.
to connect two devices click the lightning bolt, which is the cable icon.
select the type of connection from the box to the right (console, x-over utp, serial, etc)
once you have selected the cable type click the device and it will ask you which port on the device do you want to connect the selected cable type to?

Pretty easy to use.
