Altera ModelSim Question

Hi,

--- Quote Start ---

when I enter my Verilog design into the Wave Editor, it keeps reordering my signals alphabetically

--- Quote End ---

Do you mean that "when you simulate your design and add signals to wave editor" ?

It may be normal.

--- Quote Start ---

I am saving waveform edits and formats

--- Quote End ---

Do you mean "I click "Wave editor menu file" > "save format..." > ... ?

This menu write a macro file which is a list of TCL commands to be passed to Modelsim in order to configure the "wave editor".

you can open this macro file in a simple text editor, you will see those commands

--- Quote Start ---

Is there any way to save my signal positional edits?

--- Quote End ---

click "wave editor menu file" > "save format..." > save to a macro file (wave_xxx.do)

if you want to restore your signals positions, radix, height, color... in the "wave editor",

just go to "file" > "load.." and load the macro file.

That's all

Regards.

no, this is before simulating when the wave editor allows you to make edits.

just go to "file" > "load.." and load the macro file.

Every time I reload the macro (.do file?) the signal revert to alphabetical order.

That's all

This tool is not friendly compare to using VWF editor we were using for 20 years
