Simulink.Mask.copy

Copy a mask from one block to another

Syntax

pDest.copy(pSource)

pDest.copy(pSource) overwrites the destination mask with the source mask.

To get the mask on the source block srcBlockName, use this command.

pSource = Simulink.Mask.get(srcBlockName)

To create an empty mask on the destination block destBlockName, use this command.

pDest = Simulink.Mask.create(destBlockName)

Step 1: Create an empty mask on the destination block using the block’s path.

new_system('mymodel');
add_block('built-in/subsystem','mymodel/subsystem');
open_system('mymodel');
pDest=Simulink.Mask.create('mymodel/subsystem');

Step 2: Get source mask as an object using the source block’s path.

add_block('built-in/gain','mymodel/gain');
Simulink.Mask.create('mymodel/gain');
pSource = Simulink.Mask.get('mymodel/gain');

Step 3: Make the destination mask a copy of the source mask.

pDest.copy(pSource);
save_system;

Mask object of the source block.

Note

The destination block should have an empty mask. Otherwise, the copied mask will overwrite the non-empty mask.
