    Hi Leow,

    Yes you found a bug but with a workaround. In Spice the first line MUST be a comment, however here we need to specify the comment when 2 Spice instances are used (one through the custom block, the other through the pallet).

    You can double click on the customblock, then double click and edit the netlist of it and simply add a '*' at the first line to force the line to be a comment (see picture below in red)

    Then the testcase will run properly.
