A-280 ModelSim Variables ModelSim Xilinx User’s Manual
In addition to window preferences (listed by window name in the Preference list),
you may also set:
• Default
Set default colors and fonts for menus and tree windows, also fill colors for
VHDL (box) and Verilog (arc) structure symbols; these may be changed for
individual windows.
• Geometry
Set the default size and position for the selected window type; used for the
geometry of any newly-created window. This option will only exist after
preferences have been saved for the first time (using the Save button).
• ForceTranslateTable
Specify how a string of digits are mapped into enumerations. This mapping is
used for vectors only.
• Library
Set colors for design libraries and library elements: architectures,
configurations, entities, modules, and packages.
• ListTranslateTable
Specify how various enumeration types map to the ModelSim’s internal logic
types. This mapping is used for vectors only.
• LogicStyleTable
Set the line type, color, and vertical location for internal logic types.
• Postscript
Specifies postscript font mapping. The fonts you specify for the Dataflow and
Wave windows on the By Window page are mapped to these fonts when the
Dataflow/Wave window is output to postscript. See "Saving the Dataflow
window as a Postscript file"
(7-127) or "Saving waveforms" (7-189) for
information on postscript output.
• Startup
Set the location (geometry) of the Load a Design dialog box.
• Vsim
This preference provides a method for attaching add-ons to ModelSim. This
item must be set prior to simulation. If it is set from this dialog box, it will take
effect the next time VSIM is invoked from the command line.
• Welcome
Identifies the file which contains the text for the ModelSim QuickStart. Do not
change this item.
