[ModelSim] How to load aliases automatically?

Hi All, I have prepared a separate file with the aliases, which I want to use with ModelSim. How can make them to be loaded automatically each time I start the ModelSim? Thank you!

You can set the environment variable MODELSIM_TCL and point to a Tcl script that will be run at startup. Eg., my Windows system has MODELSIM_TCL set to %VHDL%/scripts/modelsim.tcl, where %VHDL% is the variable for my code respository, and modelsim.tcl is a script that sets up the path to modelsim.ini based on the tool version (commented on in my response to your other question in another thread).

Cheers,

Dave
