getting started

My first project is to design a faceplate for a data acquisition device that fits into a Pelican 1400 case.
I have the dimensions of the faceplate and have successfully made that and wish to put it on layer 0.
Next I wish to place 10 holes for 6-32 machine screws that fasten the plate and put those on layer 1
I purchased a plastic ring with 6-32 inserts that attaches to the inside of the case and provides a means to attach the faceplace. I have the dimension of a rectangle that goes through the centers of all 10 fasteners and have drawn that but it is not obvious how to get it assigned to layer 1. I have tried various combinations of clicking the layer boxes, but it always looks as if everything is on layer 0.
Next I want to put the 10 holes at the correct locations, but now I cannot figure out how to put a .140 circle centered on my construction line and at some specific offsets from say the left edge.
The next challenge is to get outline drawings for Neutrik XLR connectors that are industry standards and readily available but not yet on RealCADD. Where do we get a library of such items?
