Help making potentiometer

I am trying to make linear and logarithmic potentiometers for my Fuzz Face PNP pedal schematic. I don’t really know how to code and so far, the videos I’ve watched haven’t really helped me, and neither has AI (sorry if that is a taboo topic on this forum). The simulation simply won’t start for the schematic, it exits the simulation instantly, doesn’t give any error and creates an empty .qraw file.

In my folder I have a .lib file and two .qsym files.

I believe everything important is in the picture below.

I am not sure where my error is. The program would at least give me an error before, now it seems to be successfully not working. Could someone help me?

Thank you for reading. Sorry for my inconvience and bad English, I am not a native speaker.

Hi Marwit,

For your symbols, I guess you assigned a net label / net name in .qsym file. You should not assign a net name except you want to force a certain pin to a particular net name (for example, sometime I want a pin to connect to ground, I will assign a pin to 0).

Pin name and net name are two different thing. Pin name can be assign by double click the pin in symbol window, and type anything to it. Pin name is only for display purpose and no meaning in netlist generation. However, net name is actually what that pin order connect to from netlist.

Right now, I guess you assign A, W and B as net name. And finally, from your netlist, you can see that the wiring not actually connect to the symbol, and you have A, W and B net come from no where (as you force assigned them).

Remove A, W and B from net, symbol pin will re-appear.

Here is a workflow of pin name assignment and to display a pin name in symbol.
Need View > Properties to refresh change in pin name from Symbol Properties.

If neither @physicboy nor my reply can resolve your issue, and you wish to troubleshoot what is wrong with your schematic or symbol files, follow this post to increase your forum trust level for uploading schematic and symbol files.
