Simulink Release Notes    

Simulink Editor

This section describes enhancements to the Simulink Editor.

Undo Move

In Simulink 4.1, the Undo command on the Simulink Edit menu restores blocks, annotations, lines, and nodes that have moved to their original locations (see Undoing a Command in Using Simulink).

Undo Subsystem Creation

In Simulink 4.1, the Undo command on the Simulink Edit menu restores blocks that have been grouped into a subsystem to their original level in the model (see Undoing Subsystem Creation in Using Simulink).

Autoconnecting Blocks

This version makes connecting blocks significantly easier. To connect a set of source blocks to a target block, simply select the source blocks, hold down the Ctrl key and left--click the target block. Simulink draws connecting lines between the source blocks and the destination block, neatly routing lines around intervening blocks. To connect a source block to a set of target blocks, select the target blocks, hold down the Ctrl key and left--click the source block. To connect two blocks, select the source block, and left-click the destination block while holding down the Ctrl key. Simulink connects as many ports on the two blocks as possible (see "Autoconnecting Blocks" in Using Simulink).

Autorouting Signal Lines

Simulink now routes signal lines around intervening blocks when you connect them either interactively (by dragging the connecting lines or using autoconnect) or programmatically via the add_line command's new 'autorouting' option (see Autorouting Option Added to add_line Command).

Displaying Storage Class on Lines

This version adds an item to the Format menu, which toggles the display of (nonAuto) storage class on signal lines (see RTW Storage Class in Using Simulink for more information).

Save Models in Release 11 Format

This release can save post-Release 11 models in Release 11 format. Simulink 3 (Release 11) can load and run converted models that do not use any post-Release 11 features of Simulink. Simulink 3 can load converted models that use post-Release 11 features but may not be able to simulate the model correctly. Use the Save as option from the Simulink File menu or the following command to save a model in Release 11 format.

See Saving a Model in Simulink 3 (R11) format in Using Simulink for more information.
