Updating Links to Reflect Block Path Changes
Library forwarding tables enable Simulink to update models to reflect changes in the names or locations of the library blocks that they reference. For example, suppose that you rename a block in a library. You can use a forwarding table for that library to enable Simulink to update models that reference the block under its old name to reference it under its new name.
Simulink allows you to associate a forwarding table with any library. The forwarding table for a library specifies the old locations and new locations of blocks that have moved within the library or to another library. You associate a forwarding table with a library by setting its ForwardingTable parameter to a cell array of two-element cell arrays, each of which specifies the old and new path of a block that has moved. For example, the following command creates a forwarding table and assigns it to a library named Lib1.
The forwarding table specifies that block A has moved from Lib1 to Lib2. and that block B is now named C. Suppose that you opens a model that contains links to Lib1/A and Lib1/B. Simulink updates the link to Lib1/A to refer to Lib2/A and the link to Lib1/B to refer to Lib1/C. The changes become permanent when you subsequently save the model.
