Electrical example does not produce image correctly

[overskud]

Followed example using Julia Version 1.11.5 CairoMakie v0.12.18 ModelingToolkit v9.80.5 ModelingToolkitDesigner v1.4.0 ModelingToolkitStandardLibrary v2.21.1

Produced this result

Mechanical has the same issue

I'm checking currently with the latest version of all packages. Can you confirm that you have the "examples/design/Main" folder downloaded with files Circuit.toml and MassSpringDamper.toml?

[overskud]

In examples/design/Main have Circuit.jl Circuit.toml MassSpringDamper.jl MassSpringDamper.toml System.jl System.toml

Added via package manager. Is there a correct method for testing electrical.jl?

[bradcarman]

When you run "examples/electrical.jl", what do you have for design.file? Does it match the path to "examples/design/Main/Circuit.toml"? For example, on my machine, I have the following details....

julia> design.file
"c:\\Work\\Packages\\ModelingToolkitDesigner.jl\\examples\\design\\Main\\Circuit.toml"

julia> pwd()
"C:\\Work\\Packages\\ModelingToolkitDesigner.jl"

(ModelingToolkitDesigner) pkg> st

Info Packages marked with ⌃ and ⌅ have new versions available. Those with ⌃ may be upgradable, but those with ⌅ are restricted by compatibility constraints from upgrading. To see why use `status --outdated`

If you can post the same info, I'll be able to sort out the issue hopefully.

mkdir mechanical cd mechanical cp https://github.com/bradcarman/ModelingToolkitDesigner.jl/blob/master/examples/mechanical.jl to here.

With julia include("mechanical.jl")

creates: mechanical.svg shown above Directories: design/Main design/ModelingToolkitStandardLibrary/Mechanical/Translational

These directories are empty

Right, so I see what is happening. If you are going to run mechanical.jl in a directory outside of the ModelingToolkitDesigner.jl directory, then you also need to copy the "design" folder as well. The information about the placement of the components in order to generate the correct layout is located in the "design/Main/Circuit.toml" file. Since that file is missing in your case, the rendered layout is placing the components in a random location.

[overskud]

cp MassSpringDamper.toml design/Main/ rm -rf ModelingToolkitStandardLibrary

With julia include("mechanical.jl")

This produced the expected result.

Also created the empty directory ModelingToolkitStandardLibrary/Mechanical/Translational

Thanks for the help.
