    Me and my mates have the same problem, I can't even print a readable file.

      Hi Pietro4,

      May I know what do you meant by "I can't even print a readable file."? Is the issue related to Modelsim? Could you help to describe more on this? Appreciate if you could share the screenshot.

      Best Regards,
      Richard

        Hi ,
        I managed to solve the problems regarding the printing of files.
        I still have problem to export an image from wave, the same as @NH_Dal.

        Thanks for the help.
