CR-180 ModelSim Commands ModelSim EE/SE Command Reference
view
The view command will open a ModelSim window and bring that window to the
front of the display. If multiple instances of a window exist, view will change the
default window of that type to the specified window. Using the -new option, view
will create an additional instance of the specified window type and set it to be the
default window for that type.
Names for windows are generated as follows:
• The first window name (automatically created without using -new) has the same
name as the window type.
• Additional window names created by -new append an integer to the window
type, starting with 1.
