How can I draw a bus across multiple schematics?
I want to make one schematic of the input side of the bus and another schematic on the output side of the bus.
Suppose you have:
two schematics: Schematic 1 and Schematic 2.
two resistors R1 and R2 on Schematic 1 that you want to connect to two resistors R3 and R4 on Schematic 2.
R1 is connected to R3 by a net called **netlabel1** and R2 is connected to R4 by a net called **netlabel2**.
In Schematic 1 draw a `Bus` (Wiring Tools > Bus) then attach a `Bus Entry` (Wiring Tools > Bus Entry) to it and then attach a `netlabel` (Wiring Tools > Net Label) to it. The default name will be *netlabel1*.
Wire to R1 from this Bus Entry or copy and paste `netlabel1` to one end of it.
Now attach a second `Bus Entry` to it and then attach a netlabel to it. The default name will be *netlabel2*.
Wire to R2 from this Bus Entry or copy and paste `netlabel2` to one end of it.
In Schematic 2 draw a `Bus` (Wiring Tools > Bus) then attach a `Bus Entry` (Wiring Tools > Bus Entry) to it and then attach a `netlabel` (Wiring Tools > Net Label) to it. The default name will be *netlabel1*.
Wire to R3 from this Bus Entry or copy and paste `netlabel1` to one end of it.
Now attach a second `Bus Entry` to it and then attach a netlabel to it. The default name will be *netlabel2*.
Wire to R4 from this Bus Entry or copy and paste `netlabel2` to one end of it.
R1 in Schematic 1 is now connected to R3 in Schematic 2 via netlabel1 and R2 in Schematic 1 is now connected to R4 in Schematic 2 netlabel2.
The Net label names can be edited by double clicking on them.

Thanks for the reply.
So, basically, the Bus is just a graphical artifact? If I had just net-labeled the end-points without drawing a bus and and bus entries, R1 will still be connected to R3 and R2 to R4?
