I have a design that has a pair of 32 bit buses. One is an input and the other is a tristate output. I need to make several instances of this sheet in my top level circuit and connect to these buses. Each bus is unique and I don't want them all tied together but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make this sub sheet thing work. I cannot get the buses to show on the hierarchical component in top-level, I tried Bus Connectors to no avail and it appears that the bus in the subsheet is global so instances of the sub-sheet seem to have each instances buses all tied together which is absolutely not what I want. Do I have to make a hierarchical component where every single pin is called out individually and cannot use a Bus? That would suck mightily.
I got DipTrace for the hierarchical feature it claims it has but I'm not getting a warm feeling. Right now I feel like I might as well have stuck with Eagle.
Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
Vince

I got a response to this question on the Diptrace forum. This is not possible |O It seems so obvious to me I was shocked that it does not work after spending hours trying to make it work.
They say this will be implemented in a future release.
