XCircuit Working In LaTeX Mode
I go edit -> latex mode, then it checks the latex mode thing and I press t, then I type some random word

  1.1. embedding in LaTeX documents
  
  Encapsulated PostScript can be inserted directly into a LaTeX document with the "epsfig" package. LaTeX purists, however, usually like to have continuity between the text of the document and the figure. For that, there is "LaTeX mode" in XCircuit. When this mode is enabled, several things happen: 1) labels created when in LaTeX mode will be marked and processed separately from the figure. 2) when entering text, the backslash key does not generate the special characters display, but just prints a backslash (since backslashes are used often in LaTeX and special characters are declared with backslash commands), and 3) when writing the PostScript output, XCircuit additionally creates a ".tex" file that contains all of the labels in LaTeX format, and a call to "epsfig" to include the image.


So if you didn't actually enter any labels in proper LaTeX (just some non-LaTeX "random word"), perhaps it has no LaTeX to put into ".tex" file.
