Franklin,
Maybe you could define your questions a little bit better. I
don't even know where to start with what you have asked at the
moment. Inductance, Resistance?
Component placement, yes it places components just fine but
it is most likely not real similar to Eagle.
Overall, go through their tutorials and examples. Don't take
the manuals precisely at their word, there were too many service
pack changes for the manuals to be real accurate. let alone like
everything these days, the manuals are more of a where is it type
help rather than a how does it actually work help. If you can
find their training course (learning guide and related tutorial
files) somewhere online, it would give you a good basis on which
to start, much better than the manual.

Some tips I can give right off the bat, don't use special
characters in library parts names, stick to underscores, spaces,
letters and numbers, keep them under 14 characters in length. It
is hard for me to even think of where you might find difficulties
or problems since I have used the package for so long I just do
my work in the manner I have become used to and I don't have
many problems. Oh, Stay away from Win98 with it (resource
problems, design rule set-up uses a lot of resources and will
crash in Win98) and ATI video cards from a few (3 - 5) years back
resulted in numerous stability issues. I believe that the more
current ATI cards work just fine.
Work at learning the hotkeys and keystrokes for commands, it
is miles more efficient than mousing it through the menus.
