OS X No Icons Bug


 

Hi all,


I just realized there was a OS X-native version yesterday, so apologies if this is a newbie question: the only 'buttons' available at the top of the schematic window are run, stop, and control panel. Shortcuts (like F2 for add component) are available, so it's not the end of the world, but is there a fix for this?

Macbook Late 2009
Intel Core Duo 2.26GHz

OS X 10.9
LTSpice build 12/19/2013, updated via gui.


 

Hello Dale,

It's intentional as it is.
Please read also my other comments in the Files section..

Special hints for MAC-LTspice

MAC-LTspice doesn't have a menu-bar with all these commands.
Please use the function keys. It will need a little bit exercise
until you can quickly work with this function-key method.

F2 Get components

F3 Draw wires

F4 Label net

F5 Delete

F6 Copy

F7 Move

F8 Drag

F9 Undo

Shift F9? Redo

Spacebar Zoom to full extent

s? Enter Spice Directive

t? Enter comment


Draw a wire in the direction of 45 degree:

F3
Now hold the Shift-key while drawing the wire with any angle


.lib name or .lib ./name
Normally .lib filename works. I remember one case when I needed .lib ./filename


Dialog windows for the analysis .TRAN, AC, .NOISE, .DC, .TF, .OP
Press the key s to get the dialog window for SPICE-lines.
Now "right mouse click" in this dialog window.
Follow "Help me edit -> op Analysis command".



Polarized electrolytic cap?
F2
polcap

There are even more nice symbols in [Misc], e. g. a European resistor symbol.
F2 "Misc"? -> European Resistor



My personal experience.
MAC-LTspice is 64bit code and runs at least as fast as the WIN version.
The only drawback is the slow speed when you zoom-in or zoom-out.
Mike told me that he can't improve this the next few months.
I missed the toolbar at the beginning. After I exercised the Fx function keys,
I am quick with this Fx method too.


Best regards,

Helmut
