3.Tables button in the Task tool bar. Click on the 
Insert Head Table button in the Insert tool bar.
The Insert Head Table window will appear.
Click the Add button. A long rectangular table with 8 seats down one side will now appear near the centre of the 
Floor Plan pane.
Click on the 
Insert Circular Table button in the left Insert tool bar. The Insert Circular Table window will appear. Change Seats to 6 and Create to 2.
Leave the auto box checked to allow PerfectTablePlan to set a table size based on the number of seats and the Seat width set in the 
Dimensions window.
Next to the Create field you can see how many seats you will have after the tables have been added, in this case 20 seats.
Click the Add button. Two circular tables, each with 6 seats, will now appear in the Floor Plan pane. Click the 
Zoom so all tables visible button at the top of the Floor Plan pane to centre and zoom on the tables you have added.
Drag the tables to the approximate positions shown below. Currently both tables are selected. Left-click and release on a table to select just that table. Left-click on the table again and, holding down the mouse button, drag it to the desired position and release. Repeat for the other table.
Experiment with zooming in and out using the

Note You can also use the mouse wheel (if you have one) for zooming or scrolling (depending on the setting in the 
Preferences window).
You can change the size of the floor plan using the button or by dragging the bottom-right corner of the room. This allows you to enter the dimensions of the venue in which the event will take place.
You can add lines, shapes, images and text to the floor plan by clicking on the

button at the top of the pane.
The Status bar now shows that you have 7 guests and 20 seats:

1.Guests button in the Task tool bar. Add another 11 guests using the same approach as in Tutorial section 2, so that you have a total of 18 guests. Set any groups, names, genders and proximities you like.
Click on the 3.Tables button in the Task tool bar. You should now have 18 guests and 20 seats. Right-click on the head table in the Floor Plan pane and select 
Properties.
Change the number of seats to 6. Click the OK button.
There are now 18 seats and 18 guests.
Select File>Save to save the plan.
Note PerfectTablePlan creates a backup file every time you save the plan (unless you have disabled this in the Preferences window). This is useful if you ever need to retrieve an old version of the plan.
