Hi everyone! I have spent hours searching forums and tutorials to find a solution to this seemingly simple problem to no avail. Big time newbie here, so please humor me.
I am designing my first ever DIY build and am very excited about it! Relatively simple 2.5 way using Dayton Audio RST28 fabric dome tweeter, and two Dayton Audio RS150 woofers. I am trying to use xsim to simulate a basic crossover to get things started using the factory supplied FRD and ZMA files dayton provides.
The issue I am having is that for some inexplicably infuriating reason, any component I place in line to a driver in the software does not affect the frequency response whatsoever! 😵 Even the most basic of basic 2 way design with a capacitor to the tweeter and inductor to woofer does nothing... (Image 1 and 2). I try to import the ZMA and FRD files for each driver, and while it shows the expected frequency response from the FRD and ZMA files, the frequency response curve is unaffected by any components no matter the value I place on them (image 3 and 4). I am at a complete loss of what to do here and I feel I must be missing something embarrassingly basic. I have tried every iteration and clicked every button I can think of.
I am more than happy to be called a big dumb dumb if someone can point out what I am doing wrong! 😊 Thanks in advance!

I wanted to add, that I also tried what I could in VituixCAD witht he same results. See screenshots below.
You have the components shorted. Perhaps you connected them and placed the components over the existing wires.
Oh my goodness... It really was something THAT simple! You are perfectly correct. I set the wire first and placed them over the wire which I figured the UI would just fix it for me haha. Putting the component first and connecting the wire after fixed the problem. Thank you so much for helping me!
