Hi there JoAnn,

I use Cadstar for Windows 4.2 & although we have had relatively few multi
sheet drawings
(well ok, it was 1 - but it was a very well drawn one! ;-) )

To identify signals that went from the main sheet to differing sheets I used
a table
in the corner of the sheet - it worked for me......

I also put the sheet number in a little box next to the signal termination
to identify the sheet
it went to.

Have fun - Matt
