Orcad bus names using leading 0's

[rickman]

I am accustomed to using two digits in my bus numbering so that signal
names sort correctly. That means I would name a bus BUS[15:00] instead
of BUS[15:0] so that the lower signals would be BUS00, BUS01... I am
getting errors in Orcad about wires with only one connection. Is this
the reason? I don't see anything in the help that says I can or can't
do this.

Thanks, I just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure that Orcad did not
allow this. I have not done schematics in a year or two and all the
various tools seem to blend together after awhile. I expect I have
used the leading zero naming convention in VHDL or possible Viewlogic
which is the only other capture program I can recall working with.

Thanks for your reply.

You're very welcome. The issue is specifically covered both in the
online help and in the User's Guide. There are other useful things
there too, BTW.
