How can I clone pins that have the same input?

Basically want to name several pins the same thing in a large circuit diagram so that I don't have it looking like a huge mess of wires everywhere. Is this possible? 

 

I managed to get the pins assigned to the same input switches (de2) using different names on the pins but it doesn't help me any since it won't compile without giving an error about pin assignments. I could settle for this solution even if it isn't possible to get the same names on the pins.

You can make your pins an array of bits - (std_logic_vector(x downto 0) in VHDL). 

 

At the top your code should clean up quite a bit. If you are still having problems, a little sample code from your design could make explaining easier.
