Help! Bus notation on schematics

[JC]

Hi,

Using the Cadence schematic tool, I have a cell instantiated 128 times,
Icell1<127:0>.

I want groups of 4 cells at the time to have the same input, so there will
be 32 signals, x<31:0> going to 128 cells.

I can label the bus to the input

etc., x<1>, x<1>, x<1>, x<1>, x<0>, x<0>, x<0>, x<0>

but it is a very long string.

What is the syntax to abbreviate it, such as

etc., ((x<1&gt *4), ((x<0&gt *4)

or something even shorter such as

bit=0; (((x<bit + 1&gt *4) *32)



Thanks,

Joe
