LTspice on Mac. Argh.
(1/5) > >>
David Aurora:
In the past I've tried a couple times to install this and it always threw a hissy fit and failed install in one way or another (multiple versions of OSX/LTspice, different computers, a total shitfight every time). Once or twice I actually started following along with instructions found online about doing tricky things in terminal to get it working, but eventually it seemed legitimately faster to just build the damn circuit. File under "Why do nerds always want to do things in the least user friendly way possible?" (I could rant on this topic for 10 pages...)

Anyway...

Last week I decided to try it again and it worked like a charm. Used it for a few days without issue, was starting to like having some simulation software handy again.

Tonight I go to use it and it's a chore. Until tonight I was able to open a dialog box with some kind of directive wizard (something along the lines of saying "Help me edit"). It was so simple I can't even remember how, I either hit run and got it or I pressed S or something along those lines. Whatever it was, it would give me a window with operating point analysis, ac analysis, etc.

For love or money I can't get to that window anymore. If I click run i get a message saying "No analysis command found", if I right click and try to add commands i can't get that wizard type function, everything has to be done manually. Ive rebooted, reinstalled, nothing seems to bring it back. From what I can gather, in the Windows version you can just hit edit simulation in the toolbar, but the mac version has no toolbar.

Any ideas?

I didn't realise there is a Mac version.

This sounds a big vague. Please post some screen shots.

The first place to check is the help file.
iMo:
A text placed into your simulation .asc file could be a "Comment" or a "Spice Directive". When placed in as a Comment you will not get the analysis options while clicking on it, and, no analysis will be provided.
When placed in as a "Spice Directive" doublecheck a typo (ie missing ".").

Help file says it should work the way it did a few days ago  :-DD

Screen shots seem kind of pointless as I can’t bring up the screen in question anymore

This is not the issue I’m having.
