netlist problem with nested dc sweep

[Dietmar Warning]

If I setup a nested dc sweep e.g. for mos output characteristic with vds sweep at first and vgs sweep as second I got a simulation error because the dc command is wrong, see below

.dc V2 0 3 10mV1 500m 3 500m

A space is missing before V1.

Working with Version 5.1.0_1 release build under Win 7.
Single DC sweep is working.

A short video would help to understand the problem.

@Deitmar, would it be possible for you to post your schematic and schematic library? If you cannot post them, would it be possible for you to create a test schematic that duplicates the issue. I'm having trouble duplicating this.

I use your laser driver example laser_driver.pro only to show the Problem.
After loading the schematic in eeschema I open the Simulation->setup and fill out - see the attached picture.
After start the Simulation I got an error.
If I open Simulation->netlist I see in the end:

.save V(VSS)
.dc V1 0 5 100mV2 1 1 1
.end

Please remark that is no White space between 100mV and V2!

This is the Problem for the Simulator error.

Hope it will help you to duplicate the error.

Thanks for fixing the bug.
There is a small problem related to this spice configuration box for dc-sweeps.
Any spice (ngspice too) is able to make nested sweeps with temperature like this:

.dc vb 0 1 0.01 temp -25 125 50

or

.dc temp -25 125 50 vb 0 1 0.1

So it will helpful to provide the parameter "temp" additional to the voltage/current sources in the dc-sweep setup and translate them to netlist lines like shown above.

Sorry if it is more a feature request, perhaps you can change status to "wishlist".

Could you please open a new issue with that request? I want to leave this one as-is so that it is noted that the original issue was fixed in 5.1.1
Thanks

OK - I want try it. Don't know how to flag it as "wishlist".

You can close the case as fixed.

Thanks
