The Find icon initiates a simple text search of the PDF file. Depending on the speed of your machine and the size of the file, Find can be slow (but effective).

Requirements for Acrobat Search

To use Acrobat Search with ModelSim PDF docs you need the following file/directory structure. If you installed ModelSim from the CD-ROM or downloaded the documentation set from our web site (http://www.model.com) you will likely have this structure. Search is intended for use with the complete Manual/Tutorial documentation set. Search will not work correctly with individual files that are not part of the directory structure below.

Doc files for ModelSim EE

These ModelSim documentation files must be in the directory shown for Acrobat Search to work.

This directory:

<intall_dir>/<modelsim_dir>/docs/

must include these files:

ee_manual_<version>.pdf (reference manual)

ee_tutorial_<version>.pdf (ModelSim tutorial) ee_start_here.pdf (this document) ee_doc_index.pdf (links to documentation) sdk_um.pdf (Mentor Std_developersKit) ee_index.pdx (PDF index file)

Copy and Paste from PDF files

You can copy text from PDF files and paste it into ModelSim’s Main transcript.

Select the abc button on the Acrobat Reader toolbar. You can then select and copy text from the PDF file into ModelSim. This is especially helpful if you want to copy and paste examples from the tutorials to the command line.
