Simple RC filter doesn't filter

I'm trying to simulate a simple RC filter. It should produce a small sawtooth waveform with a large DC component (I verified it with an actual circuit). Instead I get a square wave with a small DC component. What am I doing wrong?

@signality Thanks! I have a lot to learn. At least I wasn't doing something stupid with CL. Other than just blindly grabbing the first Schottky I found in the list and assuming it would work.

After 20 years doing simulation work, I'm still learning.
