I am trying to make some test code for my project and I need to be able to see certain signals that shouldn't be synthesized later on. The manual proposes to use translate_off and translate_on, however if put these directives around a few output pins I cannot find them when making a vector waveform file for a simple simulation either.
Since my test code is in a separate project, I thought about ignoring translate_off/on directives in Analysis & Synthesis settings, but turning this option on does not change anything (bug?).
Software version = Quartus II 8.1 Web Edition
How would I write code / add pins that is only included for simulation?
