I've never been able to plot currents in wires, nor can I see how it could work as the analysis is done on a netlist not the schematic, so details about particular wires (not dedicated to carrying current to a particular component) gets lost.
When you start designing circuits that consist of more than a battery, resistor and bulb, it becomes necessary to plot currents in wires without having to keep inserting dummy 1 mOhm resistors.
When I say you can't plot the current in a wire, I mean it doesn't work not that you can't. LTSpice plots the current in any wire under the cursor if you alt-click it. Look at the status bar when you do it, and you'll see the voltage probe turn into a current probe as well. It just doesn't work for me under Wine /Ubuntu
Cool, thanks - another useful feature discovered
The status bar shows the mathematics behind it too.
The latest version is a bit buggy in Manjaro/Arch but runs solidly in Ubuntu for me. The i7 probably doesn't hurt.
Appears to be a Wine key mapping issue. Shift+alt click displays current on a wire, ctrl+alt click adds current to the waveform presently displayed.
Lol. Yeah I know that. The funky thing is the thin black outline of a "play button" that appears at the top left of the window over the LT logo, and also in the tray icon. This screen grab is of my linux machine. I have two windows boxes and they have the "button" in the window but not the tray icon, with the Jan 3 build.
No clue how or why it's there.
