Moving Blocks in a Model :: Working with Blocks (Using Simulink)

Using Simulink

Moving Blocks in a Model

To move a single block from one place to another in a model window, drag the block to a new location. Simulink automatically repositions lines connected to the moved block.

To move more than one block, including connecting lines:

Select the blocks and lines. If you need information about how to select more than one block, see Selecting More Than One Object.
Drag the objects to their new location and release the mouse button.

Copying Blocks in a Model

You can copy blocks in a model as follows. While holding down the Ctrl key, select the block with the left mouse button, then drag it to a new location. You can also do this by dragging the block using the right mouse button. Duplicated blocks have the same parameter values as the original blocks. Sequence numbers are added to the new block names.

Deleting Blocks

To delete one or more blocks, select the blocks to be deleted and press the Delete or Backspace key. You can also choose Clear or Cut from the Edit menu. The Cut command writes the blocks into the clipboard, which enables you to paste them into a model. Using the Delete or Backspace key or the Clear command does not enable you to paste the block later.

You can use the Undo command from the Edit menu to replace a deleted block.
