HDL-Designer 2002: cannot edit generic mapping in Block-Diag

[Peter Schmand]

Hallo to all.

While I'm designing a new component in a block diagram view, I have to
instantiate another component and have to edit the generic value of
this instantiated component.

If I want to edit it directly in the view, the status line tells me
"cannot edit read-only text". If I call the Object Proberties window,
I also cannot edit the generic values. At all other machines were we
use the HDL-Designer too, there is no problem to edit it.

There is no write-protect in the directory-structure and files of the
libraries, I'm working with.

I tried the following with no result:
- I took another .hdsprefs from a machine were the HDL-Designer works
correctly
- I newly installed the HDL-Designer with previously uninstalling it
- I created a new project, mapping new libraries in another directory,
creating a new component with generics and tried to instantiate it.

Is there anyone who can help me to solve this problem?

Thanks to all

have a nice day
Peter

Are you sure?
Did you grep for the generic to find the file?
then

chmod guo+r file.vhd

?

In that much time, you could have loaded
emacs and vhdl-mode

Thank you for your help.
The problem solved. It is a bug in the HDL-Designer. After I installed
the update-version, I can now edit the generic.
