bypassing Virtuoso built-in viewer

vivkr

Hi All,

It is possible to adjust the editor settings so that model files and Verilog-A files are opened for editing with a user-specific editing program, e.g. vim, nedit, emacs etc. The built-in viewer that comes with Virtuoso is really rather limited in its features.

Can the same be done for viewing the netlist or the simulator output log? The best I could imagine was adding these on the model path list but keeping them disabled, but this is a rather inelegant solution, and one would need to do it by hand each time.

Regards,

Vivek

  • Vivek,

    I agree with you 100%.  I too have already have set my default editor so I can edit Verilog-A files, etc. with Nedit, but it drives me crazy that it isn't used when opening read-only and isn't used to display the netlist.


    Perhaps, we should both file enhancements requests for the functionality we want.  Probably low on their list of things to change, but at least they'll know people don't like how it is now.
