Re: gEDA-user: Size of symbols

I like a hierarchical schematic where I have a top.sch which has symbols for each of the major subsections and I use buses for most digital signal paths and nets for the analog paths to interconnect these symbols. When you have designs with a thousand components on it I don't care how small your s
