    Depends what you want to save.

    If you after all signals then look at.

    vsim -wlf -wlfslim etc options

    and

    log -recursive /* command.

    I run everything from tcl script files. I've got limited experience using he GUI, except for browsing signals.

    The following couple of lines are in .do file, after loading into modelsim it can be run with the command '_vsim' on the command line.

    All the source needs to be compiled first, with vcom (for vhdl) etc.

    variable tb_name "top_level_entity_name

    proc _vsim {} {

    vsim -t ps +nowarnTFMPC -wlf $::tb_name.wlf -wlfslim 512 -wlfdeleteonquit "$::tb_name"

    log -recursive /*

    }
