oopps, found it!!
The best help would be the advice; DON'T DO IT ;)
Really, I used schematics for many years, but finally abandoned them completely (except for PC board layout). The main problem is the lack of portability. The schematics formats are all basically proprietary, and every one I have used has become obsolete. I have had projects where we have had to keep an old computer kept stuck in a corner for years, to support an old project that was created with some now obsolete schematic package that only ran on Win3.1 (in the space business, maintaining this support for years is important).
With an HDL, tools may come and go, but VHDL and Verilog should remain portable and useful for many years to come.
