Here's another way: 1. Draw the bus 2. add one net to the bus 3. add the netname attribute to the net using a wildcard e.g. netname=A? 4. (optional) edit the label properties (alignment, textsize, ...) 5. copy the net (with label and busripper) as many times as you need 6. mark all netnames 7. use the attribute --> autonumber text dialog 8. write "netname=A" to the searchtext and modify the options Note: If you need a top down or a left to right bus this will work fine with the corresponding sort option. If you need a bottom up bus you'll have to place the bus rippers from bottom to top and use the fileorder sort option when renumbering.
