Hello, The same process is giving issues once again: # ** Error: (vsim-3170) Could not find 'C:\Users\Alfonso\Desktop\PFC\simulation\modelsim\ rtl_work.TB_PFC_main'.# Error loading design# Error: Error loading design # Pausing macro execution # MACRO ./PFC_run_msim_rtl_vhdl.do PAUSED at line 34 I remember to delete the work folder to be able to compile a library that need that according to a modelsim tutorial: http://doc.union.edu/118/se_tutor.pdf (http://doc.union.edu/118/se_tutor.pdf) I have to do vcom <vhdl files .vhd> # do this for all the files cause it had to be done in the work folder, this may have caused the issue. i'm lost, can anyone help me?.

Thank you for the effort. I typed: ... vcom -work rtl_work fixed_float_types_c.vhdl and it returned: # Model Technology ModelSim ALTERA vcom 10.0c Compiler 2011.09 Sep 21 2011# ** Error: (vcom-7) Failed to open design unit file "fixed_float_types_c.vhdl" in read mode.# No such file or directory.

I moved from desktop to D: and tried again but failed with the same code, i try giving them write licence to all project files and folders, also with that failed. Alfonso.

Sorry, i moved the Pack.vhd before ProducteN.vhd (in the .tcl and saved) and still error.
error (10481): vhdl use clause error at producten.vhd(3): design library "work" does not contain primary unit "fixed_package"

Saving the Tcl is not adequate. You must also run the Tcl from the Quartus console. You do that by sourcing the file.

tcl> source PFC.tcl

If you do not see a Tcl console in the GUI, make it appear using View->Utility Windows->Tcl Console.

Dave

Tahank you Dave,

brilliant explanation, but the tcl console hates me also:

Quartus II Tcl Console
source PFC.tcl
Error:couldn't read file "PFC.tcl": no such file or directory
Error: while executing
Error:"_source PFC.tcl"
Error: ("uplevel" body line 1)
Error: invoked from within
Error:"uplevel 1 $cmd "
Error: (procedure "source" line 5)
Error: invoked from within
Error:"source PFC.tcl"

Curiously, project->generate file for project says:

File C:/users/alfonso/Desktop/PFC/PFC.tcl already exists. do you want to overwrite it?

No, it doesn't, you're just failing to read the messages:

Quartus II Tcl Console
source PFC.tcl
Error:couldn't read file "PFC.tcl": no such file or directory

--- Quote End ---

Ok, so its telling you it cannot find it. Provide the full path to the file then!

tcl> source C:/users/alfonso/Desktop/PFC/PFC.tcl

or

tcl> cd C:/users/alfonso/Desktop/PFC
tcl> source PFC.tcl

Cheers,
Dave

Nothing has happened (source C:/users/alfonso/Desktop/PFC/PFC.tcl worked (no error))

PS: i've edited .tcl and after saving, i've runned the console

Its your Tcl script. Has it been written so that it runs synthesis? If not press the play button in the GUI.

I know you're new at this, but that's not an excuse not to think for yourself. read the tcl script and see what it does.

Cheers,
Dave

Why only you answer my questions? Maybe someone here nows the direct key (Fastest path) eveny if my code is really a mess. A forum used to be many to one. or many to many.

Again, i don't know what a Tcl script is "You must also run the Tcl from the Quartus console. You do that by sourcing the file" This (if it is the Tcl script) returns nothing after a enter, i cannot demonstrate there is a enter here:

Yes i'm a useless engineer, but i'm trying to end my degree.
