Hi!
    We're also using PADS PowerLogic, however what we came up with to your problem would work in any CAD
program. What we did was to create two part types one showing the entire resistor network and the other
showing each resistor in the network as a separate gate allowing us to to place each as required. As a
REF-DESG. we use RN (resistor network) instead of R this makes it very clear what is a resistor or resistor
network especially when you draw the resistor network as separate gates on the schematic. This also allows
you to have it both ways on the same schematic.
    If  you need help creating the library parts for the schematic contact me and I'll gladly help you out.
