LTSpice Question - Simulation Directives

Hi:

I find that when I want to run a sim, the directives on the schematic
change by themselves. For example, when I run the "op" sim for
the attached schematic, the "ac" directive on the schematic changes
and has the same parameters as the "op" directive.

Others that I have spoken to, say that they have the same issue.

Any thoughts?

AFAIK the .op directive should have no parameters and any you specify after '.op' will be ignored.
When you change analysis mode you may need to edit any directives for other modes, or turn them into comments.

I've never seen that, and it didn't happen when I ran your simulation. I run LTSpice on a Mac, so I guess it could be a Mac/Windows difference. However, the .op directive has no parameters so I'm not sure how the .ac directive can take on the parameters of the .op.

Hi

Unfortunately, that's just the way it works. When changing directives you have to remember to check the directives' parameters.

Its sometimes easier to place predefined directives on the schematic as comments, then toggle between them being a comment or a directive.
