Saving the transcript file
Variable settings determine the filename used for saving the Main window
transcript. If either PrefMain(file) in
modelsim.tcl
, or TranscriptFile in
modelsim.ini
file is set, then the transcript output is logged to the specified file. By
default the TranscriptFile variable in
modelsim.ini
is set to
transcript
. If either
variable is set, the transcript contents are always saved and no explicit saving is
necessary.
If you would like to save an additional copy of the transcript with a different
filename, you can use the File > Save Main As, or File > Save Main menu items.
The initial save must be made with the Save Main As selection, which stores the
filename in the Tcl variable PrefMain(saveFile). Subsequent saves can be made
with the Save Main selection. Since no automatic saves are performed for this file,
it is written only when a Save... menu selection is made. The file is written to the
current working directory and records the contents of the transcript at the time of
the save.
Using the saved transcript as a macro (DO file)
Saved transcript files can be used as macros (DO files), see the
do
command
(p302) for more information.
