Thanks for your reply Mr. Hutcheson, but I'm still having problems. Could you describe the steps to get "Complex to Simple" to work? Something like this:
1. File/New... create a schematic sheet and name that sheet MotherBoard.sch. . . . 10. Run "Complex to Simple" and the Magic works. IOW, how to get "Complex to Simple" to work in 10 easy steps.
