such a feature in gschem? Thanks.

I just got a board finished that uses a 256 pin FPGA and broke it into 10 symbols. I used 1 for each bank as well as a power symbol and a configuration/JTAG symbol. Use the same refdes for all the symbols and you only need to give one of them a value and footprint. I believe it has to be the first on in the file.
