For passive schematics (i.e. not for simulation) you can use the **Bus** button on the **Wiring Tools** floating palette to trace out the bus.
Then use the **Bus Entry** button next to it on the same palette to place a tear off to each pin.
Sorry, I forgot to add that unfortunately, simulation schematics cannot be drawn with busses, they have to be drawn using the Wire button from the Wiring Tools palette.
`bus` is just a symbol, you can take it as a polyline, `not` a wire, no electronic . you need to add `netlabel` to every wire which connect to the `bus`.
When adding netlabels to connect nets together, they must be placed either on the symbol pins or wires (not polylines) connected to the symbol pins.
In Dillon's illustration above, the horizontal lines between the pins of U1 and the 45 degree lines of the bus tear-off (or bus ripper) - onto which the netlabels: 1A; 1B; etc. have been placed - are **wires** drawn using the **Wire** button from the **Wiring Tools** palette.
@Pogojustpogo,
In the two years since Dillon's posts, the whole image I referred to appears to have been lost.
The original image would have looked something like this:
