Drawing a Line Between Blocks
To connect the output port of one block to the input port of another block:
- Position the cursor over the first block's output port. It is not necessary to position the cursor precisely on the port. The cursor shape changes to a cross hair.
- Press and hold down the mouse button.
- Drag the pointer to the second block's input port. You can position the cursor on or near the port, or in the block. If you position the cursor in the block, the line is connected to the closest input port. The cursor shape changes to a double cross hair.
- Release the mouse button. Simulink replaces the port symbols by a connecting line with an arrow showing the direction of the signal flow. You can create lines either from output to input, or from input to output. The arrow is drawn at the appropriate input port, and the signal is the same.
Simulink draws connecting lines using horizontal and vertical line segments. To draw a diagonal line, hold down the Shift key while drawing the line.
