Unable to get Current values in simulation

[Sam1988]

Hello,

I am using Kicad 8 and ngspice 42. In my circuits, i am still not able to get current values. I usually get these errors.
“Error: vector I(R3) not found!”

Insert tiny resistor (eg: 0.001 ohm) and measure voltage across it.

[Sam1988]

I am already using Voltage supply with a 0 volt value, then the probe allows for the current. But it gets really difficult for a large circuit.

I played around a bit. Looks like the “Save all curents” check box in Transient Analysis settings tab doesn’t do anything.

However, if I use “.options savecurrents”, I can get currents values now.
