How to setup Modelsim work folder

This tutorial explains how to setup a Modelsim work folder.

1. Start Modelsim
2. In Trancript window, enter following commands

   vmap -del work                                 #delete previous work folder mapping 
   vlib {YOUR_PATH_TO_MODELSIM_WORK_FOLDER}       #create new work folder
   vmap work {YOUR_PATH_TO_MODELSIM_WORK_FOLDER}  #map new work folder  
   

Example :

vmap -del work                                 
vlib {d:\hw\work}    
vmap work {d:\hw\work}    

3. Modelsim will automatically update the modelsim.ini file located under ./design/trunk/setup. This change should be removed by deleting the file, and perform an svn update of the setup folder to get the original modelsim.ini . You may optionally revert Modelsim changes by right-click on modelsim.ini and select TortoiseSVn -> revert option.
