Hi,  
it would be nice to make connections with PORTS in order to connect signals between sheets or on the same sheet. I prefer it over net-labels because it’s more visible and you can show the signal direction (input, output, bidirectional …)

Hi,  
Thanks for the request. Other people also asked for this and I’ll keep it in mind. Probably we’ll need something like that anyway once hierarchical schematics are implemented so I think we have to consider these related features at the same time to find a clean solution.
