MATLAB: How to ensure that built-in blocks added to the model using the ADD_BLOCK command are appropriately sized in Simulink 7.6 (R2010b)

Question

I add a block to my model using

add_block('built-in/blocktype','modelname/blockname')

Instead of appearing as it does when I add a block from the Simulink Library Browser, it is a small square with basic parameter values.

Answer 1

To ensure that the added block has the same size and settings as the Simulink Library Browser block, add the block using the full path.

For example, instead of

add_block('built-in/Scope', 'MyModel/MyScope')

try

add_block('simulink/Sinks/Scope', 'MyModel/MyScope')
