The Button Adder

The ModelSim Button Adder creates a single button, or a combined button and toolbar in any currently opened ModelSim window. The button exists until you close the window. (See "Buttons the easy way" .)

Note: When a button is created with the Button Adder, the commands that created the button are echoed in the transcript. The transcript can then be saved and used as a DO file, allowing you to reuse the commands to recreate the button from a startup DO file. See "Using a startup file" for additional information.

Invoke the Button Adder from any ModelSim window menu: Window > Customize.

You have the following options for adding a button:

• Window Name is the name of the window to which you wish to add the button.
• Button Name is the button's label.
• Function can be any command or macro you might execute from the ModelSim command line. For example, you might want to add a Run or Step button to the Wave window.

Locate the button within the window with these selections:

• Toolbar places the button on a new toolbar.
• Footer adds the button to the Main window's status bar.

Justify the button within the menu bar/toolbar with these selections:

• Right places the button on the right side of the menu/toolbar.
• Left adds the button on the left side of the menu/toolbar.
• Top places the button at the top/center of the menu bar or toolbar.
• Bottom places the button at the bottom/center of the menu bar or toolbar.
