Would it be possible to have a menu item that said "Make this schematic a symbol" and then have the program figure out how many inputs and outputs you have on the schematics and create the appropriate symbol? Or maybe you could even mark a portion of you toplevel schematics and "push" it down to a subschem?
The symbol you place in your top-level schematic does not need to have any pins. It can simply be a rectangle (which is what I usually use). What I usually do is place a rectangle in the toplevel schematic and (1) change the "refdes" attribute and (2) set the "source" attribute to the filename containing the lower block. An example --- For one of my designs I created a sheet that contained an MSP430F169 and some peripherals. In the toplevel schematic I added a symbol that was just a rectangle and set the source attribute to the filename of the MSP430F169 sheet and set the refdes to MSP430 In the MSP430F169 sheet I then named the various port pins P1.0, P1.1, ... etc The netnames used to reference the port pins would be MSP430/P1.0, MSP430/P1.1, ... etc (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org
