Things to check: 1) Ensure you have no pre-compiled xschem package installed on the system. If there is one you can delete it with sudo apt purge xschem. These pre-built packages are way too old. 2) Install xschem from one of the source repositories. Follow instructions here. 3) If you have an existing ~/.xschem directory rename this one to something different: mv ~/.xschem ~/.xschem_old 4) The first time you run xschem it will create a ~/.xschemdirectory and copies a template xschemrc file inside...

The symbol libraries which come with the install tarball, need to be "pointed at" by some entry in the PATH that's set in the xschemrc file first-found at startup. Check the default search path and add the real one, if absent or "custom setup". If you use the instance-place form right, you may be able to find your target by up / down navigation but this is likelier if you're "somewhere close" (like maybe the library is one level down).

use atof_spice() instead of atof() to read cursor position data from graph attributes

stefan committed [r3356] on Code

Add "private cursor" check box in graph dialog box. This allow the related graph to have separate "a" and "b" cursors. These cursor positions are saved with the schematic and are thus persistent when reloading the schematic.

stefan committed [r3348] on Code

port ordering for a schematic .subckt line will always be deduced from the symbol if it exists, even if the symbol type is not "subcircuit" (so it will be used for also "primitive" type symbols).

stefan committed [r3347] on Code

add tcl xschemrc variable "select_touch" that enables selecting objects touched by the selection rectangle if dragging to the left. Previously this behavior was enabled by "incremental_select" that shows selected elements while dragging. These two optional behaviors are now enabled/disabled by separate variables

highlight disconnected instances at end of netlisting to better find them

stefan committed [r3345] on Code

issue a netlist error (and report message) if instances with pins have *all* pins disconnected. This is in 99.999% of the cases an error.

stefan committed [r3344] on Code

added tcl variable top_is_subckt and related Simulation->LVS menu, that keeps top level wrapped inside a .subckt / .ends, as lvs_netlist does. However top_is_subckt does only that and will not enable lvs_format to differentiate device lines in netlist (usually used for LVS comparison).

Many thanks Stefan!

The -l log command option is meant to put all stderr messages into a file (log in this case). Unfortunately the erc messages after a netlist were written to stderr instead of the specified log file. The last commit fixes this. Add -l log to your netlist command and all stderr messages go to log

stefan committed [r3338] on Code

add `xschem log_write text` command so erc error messages are written into errfp instead of stderr by tcl

Paul Bodenstab posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

I often want to write scripts that just create netlists of various circuits. I can easily execute the following on the terminal command line to do this: xschem -q -x -n -s -N test.deck test.sch All is fine as long as there were no errors found during the netlisting process. If any errors/warnings were found then these errors are printed to stderr. If I want to capture these errors then I do the following: xschem -q -x -n -s -N test.deck test.sch 2>test.err This is easy enough as long as I do this...

removed previously added use_pwd_instead_of_current_dirname tcl variable: now a `.` in search path is always assumed to be [pwd] and not the directory of the currently opened schematic. This will hopefully fix an endless list of user complains when using symbols from dirs not listed in XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH.

stefan committed [r3316] on Code
