Customizing ModelSim windows

ModelSim PE Graphic Interface Getting Started with ModelSim PE

Use the Waveform Postscript dialog box to change paper size and orientation, or scale the

output to meet your needs. Note that the Margin, Scale, or Number of Pages specifications are

interactive. If you change one of these, tab to or click in another box to see the updated specs.

The PostScript file includes a file named

vsim.ps

that is included with Model

Sim

. The file is

“included” in the PostScript output from the waveform display and it sets the default fonts,

spacing, and print header and footer. If you want to change any of the PostScript defaults you

can do it by making changes in this file. Note that you should copy the file before making your

changes so that you can save the original.

Saving the Wave window configuration

If you choose

File > Save Configuration

, you will get a dialog box which lets you save your

Wave window configuration for use in a future simulation. This generates a macro file that

contains “wave” commands to rebuild the waveform as it currently appears.
