Radiant and Diamond: How do you view or print a waveform with ModelSim/Questa using the VCD file generated by Reveal Analyzer?

Description:
The VCD (Value change dump) file is an ASCII file defined by IEEE 1364. It can be generated by a Verilog command or system function which can be used as the stimulus to the testbench and record variations of waveform.

Here are the steps to do this on Radiant and Diamond:
  1.  Export the VCD file from Reveal Analyzer by right-clicking in the Waveform View and selecting Export Waveform.
  2. Open Modelsim and change the directory (cd command) to the desired documentary which contains VCD files.
  3. Type the command of vcd2wlf <file name>.vcd <file name>.wlf
  4. You can now open the newly generated .wlf file and enjoy viewing the waveform.
Note that for Diamond, it is a known issue that the VCD file exported may display the bit order backward. For example, a 24-bit counter may be displayed from [0:23] rather than [23:0]. The workaround for this is to edit the bit order using a text editor to place the conventional bit order.
