Exactly, it makes it more readable.  In my case the use of off-page
connectors where enforced by style guide lines from management.   The
script enforces that nothing is connected except directly with a wire or
indirectly with a buss or off page connector.  Thus if a net doesn't look
like is connected anywhere else, it isn't.

    It looks like you handle buses with rippers, which mine does not. <br>
    <br>
    The reason for using an off-page connector symbol is largely
    stylistic -- I like the added clarity and I think it makes the
    schematic more readable.<span class=3D"HOEnZb"><font color=3D"#888888">=
