Hi All,

I am new to gschema. I am working on a schematic that includes a connector
with 400 pins. With such a large part, I'd like to break the symbol up into
multiple pieces. The last schematic capture tool I used was Viewlogic (many
years ago!) and it had the capability of doing this. Unfortunately, I don't
recall the term that was used. The documentation for gschem mentions the
"numslots" attribute. Can the numslots attribute be used for this purpose?
Does each slot need to have the same number of pins?

Thanks,
Clarke
