Title: Is thera way to have a bus availiable across sheets?
Post by: Dan Moos on August 06, 2017, 07:51:44 pm

I have a 16 bit address bus I want to be on multiple sheets. do I have to send each wire of the bus to each sheet, or is there a way ton just label the bus?

I've haven't used the bus feature yet.  Did you see if it would accept a label?  If you don't get an answer soon I can ask on the KiCAD forum for you.

Are you looking for a global bus? I don't think there is that feature, but you can route a bus through hierarchical sheets.
