Integrating Electric and LTSpice

[ee17...@smail.iitm.ac.in]

I'm trying to integrate Electric and LTSpice I followed the commands here: http://cmosedu.com/cmos1/ltspice/ltspice_electric.htm

I run a win64 laptop. 

It is throwing up an error when I do "Write Spice Deck"

Please help!

Hi,

I updated my LTspice XVII(x64) to the current Aug 9 2018 release [
http://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-simulator.html
], and when I try to drag and drop the attached test.spi file into
LTspice (with C5_models.txt placed in C:\Electric) it no longer works. 
It gives me the following error (under Windows 10):

Aborting:

Unknown schematic syntax

.global gnd

Is this a bug or are the LTspice developers changing what input files it
accepts?

The same error happens when I try to open the file from a command prompt:

C:\Electric>C:\PROGRA~1\LTC\LTspiceXVII\XVIIx64.exe -i test.spi

Though, the .spi file still opens fine, if I use File->Open, select
Netlists (*.cir;*.net;*.sp), then select test.spi.

Another way I can get the file to open by drag and drop or command
prompt is to rename test.spi as test.cir.

Thanks,

Gavin
