@User the '`Netlist`' button just creates a netlist. If nothing has been set in xschemrc, it defaults into

~/.xschem/simulations/schematic_name.spice

If you press

Shift-A

in the schematic window you enable displaying a dialog with the netlist file in it after pressing the '`Netlist`' button. If this does not happen then there is an installation problem. Let me know if this is the case. Default location of created netlist files can be changed in xschemrc:

set netlist_dir  <path>

, or by menu

Simulation->Set Netlist dir

if xschem is invoked to create a netlist in batch mode the netlist path is specified with xschem ....

--netlist_path <path>

. Default name of netlist is the name of the schematic with .spice appended. File name of netlist can be changed in command-line mode with

--netlist_filename <file>

as well as with Simulation menu.

even though dialogue box is not opening ,the netlist is generated in simulation folder
