WEBVTT 00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:10.659 Hi and welcome to the short introduction 00:00:10.730 --> 00:00:12.490 To the most important layout actions 00:00:12.539 --> 00:00:14.469 Of MES Model and Refactor. 00:00:14.860 --> 00:00:17.320 With these actions you can quickly and easily 00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:19.360 Improve the layout of your subsystems. 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.510 Let's start with one of the most frequently used actions 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.640 Called Straighten Lines From Block. 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.520 Imagine you're working on this subsystem 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:34.340 And you have just added new blocks and signal lines in this area 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.570 Now you want to easily and quickly improve the layout. 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.780 With MES MoRe you can select the block that dominates 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:46.560 The layout of your subsystem. 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.400 This is usually the largest block in the current subsystem. 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.960 Then start the action Straighten Lines From Block 00:00:54.999 --> 00:00:56.529 From the MoRe menu 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.850 Which opens the dialog. 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.200 When you click apply the action moves all connected blocks 00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:07.320 So that the signal lines are straight. 00:01:12.070 --> 00:01:13.560 You can also do this recursively 00:01:13.899 --> 00:01:16.389 So that the more distant blocks are moved as well. 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.120 The recursive option works especially well 00:01:28.180 --> 00:01:30.420 When a large block dominates the layout 00:01:30.430 --> 00:01:31.750 Of the current subsystem. 00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:39.150 In the second example here 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.620 The dominant block is the large bus creator block 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.420 That I select for the action. 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.440 In this example, the entire layout can be improved 00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:50.700 With a single click. 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.980 If you want, you can also adjust the size 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.040 Of the selected block by setting a new port spacing. 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.760 This can help you to avoid overlapping of the shifted blocks. 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.450 The next two layout actions I want to show you are called 00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:24.179 Adjust Blocks to Destinations and Adjust Blocks to Sources. 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.579 The use case is similar to before 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:27.860 But a little bit different. 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:33.480 Again, the idea is to improve the layout 00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:35.340 So that the signal lines are straight. 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:39.980 However, instead of shifting the blocks next to a selected block 00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:42.840 You can now shift the selected blocks themselves. 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.500 So imagine I want to shift only the selected blocks here 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.080 So that the signal lines are straight. 00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:55.200 For this I can use the Adjust Blocks To Destinations action 00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:57.480 From the MoRe menu. 00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:03.460 For the opposite direction, you can simply use 00:03:03.490 --> 00:03:05.760 The Adjust Blocks To Sources action. 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.460 However, the action not only adjusts the position of the blocks 00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:20.240 But also the size of the blocks 00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.600 To align with the connected ports. 00:03:23.850 --> 00:03:27.360 A classic use case is a bus selector placed before a subsystem. 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:40.400 Both actions can also be applied to several blocks in a row. 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:05.760 The next action can be used 00:04:05.777 --> 00:04:08.240 To arrange the port blocks in your subsystem. 00:04:15.059 --> 00:04:16.680 Unlike the previous actions 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.280 The port blocks are positioned not only vertically 00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:22.040 But also horizontally. 00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:28.480 If you apply the action only to the selected port blocks 00:04:28.530 --> 00:04:31.880 They will be aligned with other unselected port blocks. 00:04:38.230 --> 00:04:40.310 If you apply the action to all port blocks 00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:41.940 Without selecting anything 00:04:42.420 --> 00:04:45.171 The port blocks are positioned at the left and right edge 00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:46.240 Of the subsystem 00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:55.600 The action also adjusts the necessary spacing 00:04:55.760 --> 00:04:58.060 For block names and signal labels. 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.819 The next action from the Layout category 00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:18.320 Is called Match Block Size To Icon Text 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.140 In Simulink, a lot of blocks like Constant blocks 00:05:25.140 --> 00:05:28.520 Constant blocks display names or numbers on their icon 00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:32.739 With MoRe you can automatically resize these blocks 00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:34.960 To match the text displayed on their icon. 00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:38.420 Blocks that are too small are made larger 00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:47.920 And blocks that are too large are made smaller 00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:54.240 Resulting in a uniform layout. 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.699 You can apply the action only to the selected blocks 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.380 Or by selecting nothing at all 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.920 To all blocks with icon text in the current subsystem 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.380 You can configure the padding 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:19.600 Which is the distance between the icon text and the block's border 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.280 In MoRe's configuration file. 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.639 If you want to use a different padding in the current subsystem 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.559 You can overwrite the config values in the action's dialog. 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.480 In addition you can use the same size 00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:53.740 For blocks of the same block type 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.480 Which can result in a more consistent layout.
