I like to have my schematic on the bottom of the screen and waveforms above. Once in a while, LT Spice elects to swap them. I can't tell why it does this, or how to make it stop. Any ideas? -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

Window -> Tile Horizontally Now this window is on the top and the other is on the bottom. Best regards, Helmut

Do any of the current versions of LTSpice leverage multiprocessing or multiple cores when running sims from the command line/shell for e.g. batch runs or Monte Carlo, or is still single-threaded except from the GUI? I can't seem to find any current information about this online

You can also run the sim without the GUI on a completed schematic file and have it spit results to a log file like you were executing SPICE on an old-timey UNIX mainframe. And I don't know if it leverages multiple cores per terminal-executed process instance in that situation, for some time I know it did not but that was several years ago. I guess I could just look, I'm sure there's some Linux command or program to view per-core processor load but I'm not a *nix expert and don't know it off the top of my head, I should check that
