Project Window
By default, the interactive simulation file is placed in the project
directory, unless you use the Options dialog to specify a different
simulation directory.
Moving Projects
Saved paths in a workspace are relative to the workspace path. Thus,
a user can easily move a workspace.
For example, assume the workspace path is /users/hkrohn/risc and
workspace name is
ws_relative. The Project Window creates a new
directory
ws_relative and saves the workspace in /users/hkrohn/risc/
ws_relative/ws_relative.vws
. A new project directory is also created
called
/users/hkrohn/risc/ws_relative/PROJECT1. The project is saved as
./ws_relative/PROJECT1/PROJECT1.vpj.
If a source file path is /users/hkrohn/risc/alu.vhd, then the saved path
will be
./alu.vhd otherwise the complete path is saved. This makes it
possible to move(copy) the workspace directory to a new location.
To move the workspace when source files are not in the workspace
path:
cd /users/hkrohn/risc ; mv ws_relative newlocation;. To move the
workspace and source files,
cd /users/hkrohn ; mv risc newlocation ;.
