I am a relatively new user of xcrircuit and am using it to create a hierarchical set of schematics. I'm using version 3.7.32, just compiled. It's been going pretty good until I tried using the Load Dependencies feature to load schematic pages. I created a symbol in my project technology library, instantiated it on a top level schematic page, and used the link parameter of the symbol to associate an existing schematic to it. I then tried from the File menu, Load Dependencies expecting the linked schematic to be loaded on the next schematic page. Nothing happened. I double checked the schematic file and object names. Am I doing something wrong?
Undaunted, I decided to try the procedure described in the Large Project Tutorial for creating a symbol from an existing schematic hoping to get Load Dependencies to work. First I renamed the existing symbol and saved the technology file to eliminate any naming conflict. Then from the Netlist menu I selected Make Matching Symbol and after a fair amount of delay the dialog box opened up. I moved the pins around to my liking and pushed the Apply button. Then I pushed the Okay button and got a segmentation fault. On a second try I just pushed the Okay button without pushing the Apply button, same result. Incidentally, I have been successful in creating a hierarchical set of schematics but only when I manually load all the schematic pages and associate the matching symbols manually. I can also successfully generate a hierarchical netlist from this method. I'm running on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. Any help with these issues is most appreciated.
