Multisim and Diptrace

[blmn]

Hi,

I´m using Diptrace (schematic and PCB). Very good package and easy to work with.

Now I´m trying Multisim for simulations. Very good and easy to use too.

But I can´t realize how to exchange files between them.

Any clues? Actually I can work in Diptrace schematic and export it to Multisim or vice versa.

I tried Spice netlist export but Diptrace can´t export a valid one. It says there are no spice models for the components (all of them from its database, btw...) and creates only a clear file.

Tks in advance.

Could be something to do with the path to the models needing to be set?
I've seen that in other software.

Tks Rayma,

I found out something about Spice configuration in the manual. Tonight I´ll try that.

It seems they ask you to reference to the library if you want to use the models.

It may have to do with some old DOS system requirements.

I think I found one way to do that.

Spice settings on Diptrace, for each component... and export netlist (.cir).

Multisim can read that.
