default editor for system verilog file

SteveRFIC
SteveRFIC over 8 years ago

I need to edit some systemVerilog files in cadence.

Currently when I open the file for edit, cadence uses systemVerilog to open it, which is not very convenient to use.

So I want to use a different text editor to edit they systemVerilog files, like gedit or some others, how can I do that? When I choose open with, I also only have the systemverilog option, as shown below: 

How can I change the default editor for systemVerilog? 

Thanks!

    changing the default editor helps. By typing the following line in CIW, I can change the default editor to gedit. It also opens verilog code in gedit.

    editor="gedit"

    Which IC subversion are you using? The answer depends on that... (what does Help->About in the CIW state - please post the exact version number it gives there).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
