In version 3.7, I changed the way some selections are done; previously,
edited
elements and selections were maintained separately, but to create a
method for
simultaneously editing multiple elements, I had to make use of the selection
records. Consequently, there is a line in tclxcircuit.c, line 4236,
where the
check for no selection is now invalid. Line 4236 should not read simply:
if (nidx != 1) {
The point of explaining the error is that there may be more such
instances in
the 3.7 version, so just let me know if you find any more bad behavior.
Sorry about the delay in responding. MultiGiG just taped out our "flagship
product" today, and I have been working 18 hour days plus weekends and
holidays for the past several weeks. Such is life, in a startup company.
I am updating the Xcircuit CVS database now, and it can be downloaded
by tomorrow morning, or else you can make the simple 1-line change
yourself.
Regards,
Tim
