Using a schematics symbol with bus

Hi all, I need to implement a 4-bit counter (74161) in my schematics, I found a Verilog example but I'm unable to properly wire the symbol because it uses bus for inputs and outputs.Specifically I ...

I came to conclusion that, using that symbol with the bus, I'm forced to label the outputs as Q[0], Q[1], Q[2], Q[3].This is not what I wanted.I need to label them in a different way.Is this possible?

You're using the bus tool (thick line) instead of the wire tool (thin line). And you changed the names of the outputs. If you want the H names like you mentioned, change the output names back the way you had them and then attach wires to the 4 outputs and label them as I said to make the connections.

Or since you already have the HDL code, just use that as the top level in your project instead of creating a schematic at all.
