Question for LTSpice Users

[Genome]

Maybe programs like EDA tools are just so huge and complex these days
that it might actually take "software engineers" to do it? Hardware
engineer "programmers" usually want to do it all themselves and don't
play well with other programmers :->, that may not be conducive to huge
software development efforts!

The dissapointing aspect of this is that you probably get paid a shitload of
money for being crap.

Well, there is certainly a lot more money to be made in programming
than hardware engineering...

Indeed..... All I need is a nice Etcha Sketch. Shouldn't be too hard should
it?

Size of a sugar cube or smaller?

I had a professor tell me something pushing a decade again that state of the
art was supposedly ~100 watts/cu. inch... Of course this isn't really that
meaningful, since converting some flavors of power is a lot easier than
others...

Has anyone used anything other than the provided schematic entry for
LTSpice?

What I have in mind is using my venerable MicroSim Schematics as a
frontend for LTSpice.

I have dozens of years of collected symbols... too late to teach an
old dog new tricks.

Thompson is about to bail from PSpice... a continual money-hole with
no improvements in years... they haven't even fixed the bugs I
reported 5 years ago :-(

I just told them, "No más",... it's official ;-)

Yes, LTSpice accepts and runs any (syntactically correct) SPICE
netlist which you can generate. In the past I have used parts of the
gEDA Suite to generate SPICE netlists for LTSpice. My usual path is
gschem (schematic capture) -> gnetlist -g spice-sdb (netlist
generation) -> LTSpice (import & run SPICE netlist). I keep three
windows open, one for running each tool. This flow works quite
handily for me.

Geronimoooooooo!
