MATLAB: How to connect multiple input and output ports using a single ADD_LINE function call in Simulink 6.5 (R2006b)

allattachlinesmacrosignalsimulinktogether

I have two blocks in my model. Block 1 has 5 output ports and block 2 has 5 input ports. I would like to connect all five ports (outport 1 to inport1, outport 2 to inport 2, etc) with one call of ADD_LINE.

To connect multiple input output ports using a single call to the ADD_LINE function, you can specify the ports to be connected in a cell array and then call the function with these cell arrays. A short example is shown below:

output = {'Block1/1','Block1/2','Block1/3','Block1/4','Block1/5'};
input = {'Block2/1','Block2/2','Block2/3','Block2/4','Block2/5'};
add_line(gcs,input,output)

I don't know if there is another way, and I would like to know. This is my work around, it can get ugly, but works. I call it "x+1"

    in_src = get_param(inblock, 'PortConnectivity');
    in_src =in_src.Position;
    add_line(sys,[in_src;in_src(1)+1 in_src(2)]); %draws a line from x to x+1
    in_src =[in_src(1)+1 in_src(2)]; % save that location as source
outN = get_param(outNblock, 'PortConnectivity');
outN = outN.Position;
add_line(sys,[in_src;outN]);

So it technically works by drawing lines to position, rather than the block itself. You might get an unconnected line, but there is a script for that.

If there is better solution, I too would like to know.
