Hello! I have done some symbols (microprocessors etc.) using the djboxsym tool and I have put the signals as they are located on the real chip (i.e. correct pin number order). I have now looked at some of your schematics and see that some of you have grouped the signals more logical (i.e. PA0-7,

Maybe you could slot big chips into io ports, a group of com pins, and a group of power pins.  Not sure how slotting can work with that kind of division. I do this all the time; no slotting, just make two symbols (one for each subset of pins) and give them the same refdes. You can see this
