title: Changing the modelsim.ini file (ModelSim)
body: <p>I would like to make a modifications on several parameters in ModelSim like the MessageFormat for instance.
  To that extent, I made changes to the <strong>modelsim.ini</strong> file located in ModelSim installation directory but when I re-launch ModelSim, the default parameters are still there.</p>
  
  <p>The procedure is quite simple according to ModelSim's User Guide : </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>Open the modelsim.ini file with a text editor.</li>
    <li>Find the variable you want to edit in the appropriate section of the file.</li>
    <li>Type the new value for the variable after the equal ( = ) sign.</li>
    <li>If the variable is commented out with a semicolon ( ; ) remove the semicolon.</li>
    <li>Save.</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I know I'm editing the right file (upon launch, ModelSim prints "reading C:/[install path]/modelsim.ini and if I delete or rename it I get a warning) so I really have no idea why none of my changes are taken in account. </p>
  
  <p>Is there something I'm not doing right? It feels like I'm missing something obvious here. </p>
