Problem Title:
Orcad Simulate: Error: "Cannot create file..." occurs when converting XNF to VHDL


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General description: The error message, "Cannot create file..." occurs
when converting a Xilinx XNF or XFF file into VHDL format in Simulate?


Solution 1:

This problem may be related to the Windows 95 Explorer.
Verify that the Explorer options are not set to hide MS-DOS paths.

       1.Open the Windows Explorer.
       2.Choose Options from the View menu.
       3.Select the Display the full MS-DOS path in the title bar check box.
       4.Choose the OK button.

If this does not work, make the target file a VHO file instead of a VHD
file. Windows Explorer appends the file type to the end of the file extension.
