Library mappings with the GUI
To associate a logical name with a library, select Design > Browse Libraries (Main window). This brings up a dialog box that allows you to view, add, edit, and delete mappings, as shown below:
The Library Browser dialog box includes these options:
- Show
Choose the mapping and library scope to view from the drop-down list.
- Library/Type list
To view the contents of a library
Select the library, then click the View button. This brings up the Library tab (3-28) in the Main window. From there you can also delete design units from the library.
To create a new library mapping
Click the Add button. This brings up Create a New Library (3-27) dialog box that allows you to enter a new logical library name and the pathname to which it is to be mapped.
It is possible to enter the name of a non-existent directory, but the specified directory must exist as a ModelSim library before you can compile design units into it. ModelSim will issue a warning message if you try to map to a non-existent directory.
To edit an existing library mapping
Select the desired mapping entry, then click the Edit button. This brings up a dialog box that allows you to modify the logical library name and the pathname to which it is mapped. Selecting Delete removes an existing library mapping, but it does not delete the library itself. The library can be deleted with this vdel command:
vdel -lib <library_name> -all
