Note: A project’s MPF file is always located in the project’s directory.
Once you have specified enough information for the project creation, the OK
button is selectable. Select OK to create the project directory with a default work
library, and open the project for use.
If you created the project from the "Welcome to ModelSim" dialog box, the
project wizard now prompts you to enter an HDL source file. If you created the
project using the File > New > New Project command, select Options > Edit
Project to specify a source file.
Entry of an HDL source file name opens an editor session on the empty file. The
source file must reside in the project’s directory tree. When the editor session is
complete you will be prompted to add the HDL source file to project’s source list.
This completes the process of creating a project. The project will be open for use
in the Main window. You can elect to leave ModelSim or edit the open project’s
HDL components until the project is completely specified and all files compile
into libraries local to the project.
When you leave a ModelSim session, ModelSim will remember the last opened
project so it can be reopened for your next session by simply clicking Open
Project in the Welcome to ModelSim screen.
