Efficient labeling method?

lightcoming
lightcoming over 2 years ago

Please tell me, for such a repeated gate circuit, each left side must be marked with a VDD label. Every time I type a label, I have to press the "L"(down case) key, enter VDD, and then type on the line. Is there a way to press "L"(down case) once, input VDD once, and it can hit all the required lines all the time?

    Enter the label as <*8>VDD and then check the Expand bus names checkbox on the form. Then you can click 8 times and place VDD on each wire. There's also a nice feature that if you have a set of wires you can intersect with a single line, you can also check the Attach to multiple wires and then click on the first wire, and then move your cursor to the other end of the wires and it will attach where the line intersects with the wires (that won't help you in your case, since there's no unique wire to intersect, but it can be very useful for labelling buses):
