[sdiy] Problem with LTspice "Unkown VDMOS level: 3:

[Harry Bissell]

Thanks Andrew. 
I (probably) can do that but I’m trying to find the root cause.  The standard.mod files live in the same directory as the bipolar transistors, diodes, capacitors,etc. and they all work. This all “used” to work just fine. Even with a fresh download I can draw a new schematic using nmos and change the part number to whatever I like, but every one gets the same error message. Only on nmos and pmos. As if the program has forgotten how to interpret the level 3 model.

I think it must be “just me” as I find no one else mentioning the issue. I see the point of copying the model in the schematic but that is unnecessarily complicated for what are supposed to be simple models.

I just tried loading a .cir file and auto-generate a symbol. That works fine. I have hundreds of legacy schematics and I want to open them without too much rework.

Thanks for your help.
