Working with design libraries

Design Libraries ModelSim EE/PLUS Reference Manual

The

Library

Contents

dialog box includes these options:

•

Library

Select the library you wish to view from the drop-down list.

• Name/Details list

Entity/architecture pairs are indicated by a box prefix; select a plus (+) box to

view the associated architecture, or select a minus (–) box to hide the

architecture.

You can delete a package, configuration, or entity by selecting it and clicking

Delete

. This will remove the design unit from the library. If you delete an entity

that has one or more architectures, the entity and all its associated architectures

will be deleted.

You can also delete an architecture without deleting its associated entity. Just

select the desired architecture name and click

Delete

. You are prompted for

confirmation before any design unit is actually deleted.

Assigning a logical name to a design library

VHDL uses logical library names that can be mapped to Model

Sim

library

directories. By default, Model

Sim

can find libraries in your current directory

(assuming they have the right name), but for it to find libraries located elsewhere,

you need to map a logical library name to the pathname of the library.

You can use the graphic interface, a command or the project file to assign a logical

name to a design library.
