I am looking for thick film resistor networks in the pcbstandards PADS library. So far I haven't been able to find one: so here are my questions:

Are there any on the pcbstandards site? What are they called?

What is the convention for naming these?

What are they called by IPC (I have a 1993 copy of IPC-SM-782 and I cant find these packages in there). Is there a free online copy of IPC-SM-782?

I am using several values of 16p8r and 8p4r. If I have to make them, I'll contribute them back to pcbstandards. I need to know which library they would go in: SMN or SML or other?

After some more searching, I found some in the SMN library under:

RESN_EXBxxx

Looking at the attributes, I find that the naming convention comes from the Panasonic part number.

However, these follow a generic (probably IPC) footprint, so I recommend renaming the parts for that IPC standard. Does anyone know what it is?

I am planning to apply some gates to these parts, so I would like folks to let me know if they would prefer a single gate showing all the resistors in the network or a gate for each resistor?

For pulling up a bus, the single package is great. But for individual pullups, the schematic is much more readable with single gates. We use a xxxxxxx part number for gates and xxxxxxxA for a single part
