how to see all signals without optimization in modelsim 10.7

Question

I'm simulating with modelsim 10.7 a design created with Quartus Prime Pro 18, but I don't know hot to do the simulation with no optimizations with this new version.  I attach the simScript.do where now is the -O0 option I'v tried multiple options from vopt but without success.So, what I'm doing wrong? what would be the correct set of options in order that Modelsim shows all signals including the ones for debug?Thanks,set QPRJ_DIR D:/LHCb/FPGAPrjs/UTDataProcV01
set QSYS_SIMDIR $QPRJ_DIR/sims
set QSRC_DIR D:/LHCb/FPGAPrjs/src

I cant see the vopt or vsim commands.If -novopt vsim option has finally been deprecated (like they threatened 3 years ago) then you will need to use +acc=&lt;path&gt; args to vopt to get visibility inside your modules. You will probably need to read the modelsim manual for full explination of the +acc arguments.

in the simscript.do generated with Quartus there is no vsim, also modelsim recomends not to use +acc, so I tried to use the vopt -assertdebug but continues not showing the signals that I don't read anywhere. Also there no error nor warning. In the VOPT chapter on modelsim 10.7 manual:Mentor recommends moving away from using the +acc argument with vopt for thefollowing reasons:• It may reduce simulation speed.• The +acc argument and many of its values have been replaced by a collection ofindividual arguments listed in Using vopt for Access Control for Visibility DuringOptimization.The +acc argument is still supported for backward compatibility, but you should use thereplacement arguments instead.

You can turn off optimization using the -novopt switch like below:vcom -novopt .... then run the simulation using vsim command. The other way is to disable optimizatio globally using the Modelsim.ini file in your work folder. [vsim]
; vopt flow
; Set to turn on automatic optimization of a design.
; Default is on
VoptFlow = 1Change this VoptFlow = 1 to VoptFlow = 0. This will disable optimization for further compiles and simulations. This modelsim.ini file should be modified only for the project , ie, in your source/working directory

-novopt is deprecated in modelsim 10.7

Hi, Use +acc with vopt to preserve visibility of all objects in the design or vsim -voptargs with +acc for selective design object visibility during debugging.
