bus in virtuoso

Is there a way to draw a bus in virtuoso? What I mean is that I have
to draw a 15 bit bus and would rather draw all 15 lines at once. Right
now I have to draw each one individually. Is there a way to draw all
at once?

You just label it using the bus notation, such as A<15:0>.
You can also draw a thick wire if you want some visual clue that the
wire is a bus (but it's purely visual).
Check the User manual for the various interactions between buses, single
nets, instance terminals etc..

I think jbrand wants to know, how to draw a bus in layout,
not in schematic composer

 

Aaaah.. are you sure ? Well anyway, in that case then this facility is
available in virtuoso XL with the wire editing enabled (i.e the
create->wire command). In this mode you can select multiple pins at once
and draw the wires in one shot as a bus.

cheers again,

You can try a bit with
a multipart path.

In Virtuoso: Create -> Multipart Path + (F3 key)
the click to Subpart in the options form and figure out what fits for you.
