ModelSim 6.6d Radix->Fixed Point

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all 

I found this what looked like very useful command in ModelSim 6.6d Wave  When I right click a signal I get the Radix->Fixed Point. There I can select how many bits are the fractional part. How ever when I do this on any signal then I always get 11111.11 even if the bits where 1000110... I was hoping I would see something like 12.50, 13.25 etc...  Also ModelSim has crashed 2 times now when I have been trying this out... Is this a bug or is there any way to work around this? Or am I misunderstanding something...  Cheers Stefan

has no one tried this out?

I get the same bug. It may be fixed in modelsim 10. 

However if I use fixed point types it works fine (I dont use decimal representation of fixed point - I just stick with hex).

Did you ever find the solution to this?

The crash was fixed in 6.6f.  

To get the numbers displayed in decimal fractions, you need to set the default radix to decimal.
