Thanks for the explanation guys. John Doty's suggestion does sound good - using David's example: net:28=Vcc T 300 6750 5 10 0 0 0 0 1 net:14=GND T 300 5750 9 10 1 0 0 0 1 is (to me) cleaner than: net=Vcc:28 T 300 6750 5 10 0 0 0 0 1 net=GND:14 T 300 5750 9 10 1 0 0 0 1 For me the main problem, though, is the visual clutter in my schematics when using lots of inputs and outputs. I've attached a screen grab of a particularly cluttered part of one of my recent schematics.
