Since you've alrady got the schematics, why don't you just try it out and tell *us* what happens. :-) Seriously, some points: * Place a source= attribute in the symbol of the bottom schematic which is instantiated in the top schematic. This tells the netlister to dive into the lower schematic. * The last time I tried this with spice-sdb, it didn't work properly. I don't know if that's a spice-sdb problem or a gnetlist problem, although I suspect the former. * Hierarchical busses still don't work, IIRC. Other stuff should. * If you only want to create SPICE netlists, try out Bill Cox's gnetman. Stuart
