gEDA-user: gschem: Adding net names to a bus

["Patrick Doyle" <wpdster@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've read the gschem documentation (only) enough to read the part that
says "buses are still very experimental".  Nevertheless, I thought I
would give it a try.  I have a symbol that I've imported has a bunch
o' pins labeled:

EM_A[0]
EM_A[1]
EM_A[2]
...

So I drew a bus down along side of the symbol and started connecting
nets to it.  So far, so good, but now I want to label the nets, and
here is where things get a little cumbersome.

Select net,
aa
EM_A[...]
select netname, since it is way to big
ex
Change the font size to 6.

As I said, this feels cumbersome, and I thought I would ask if there
are easier ways to enter in a bunch of similar netnames.  I expect I
can change the default text size (pokes around a little and finds
"ot").  But I still wonder if there is an easier way.

Actually, the same question applies to having drawn the nets
connections to the bus itself.  Is there some way I could draw the
line once and repeat/redo it down the line?

Note that, since this is an imported symbol, I'm not sure that the
pins are on the default grid or not (but I can fix that in the
future).
