00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:08.640
Hi everybody, and welcome to the MES
tool release highlights of Spring 2026.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.680
My name is Alexander, and I am
excited to show you the latest

00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:15.040
changes to the tool MES Model & Refactor (MoRe).

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:18.240
We added multiple improvements to
the 'Auto Layout' functionality,

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.520
and these are the three highlights
I would like to show you today.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.840
We expanded the block height adjustment
to also include other block types,

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:32.960
and we improved the placement of sync blocks
connected to inport blocks and at line branches.

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.880
To better understand what this means,

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.200
let me head over to the tool and
show you the changes directly there.

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.040
Previously, height adjustment was limited
to specific block types. For example:

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:48.480
Bus Selectors, Bus Creators,
Subsystems, Mux, and Demux.

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.680
And here in our example, the
Or Block will not be adjusted.

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:54.720
When I use 'Auto Layout', you can see that nothing

00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:57.840
changes with the Or Block.
The height stays the same.

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.160
We changed this feature. So,
in the new version of MoRe,

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:05.520
every block that has more than
four ports can be adjusted.

00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:11.760
So, when I use 'Auto Layout' here in the latest
version, you can see that the Or Block changes

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.600
in height, every line is straight,
and we have a really clear layout.

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:20.160
In 'Auto Layout', we have
special handling for sync

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:25.120
blocks that prevents them from
stacking with following blocks.

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.000
In previous versions of MoRe, this did not
work if the source block was an inport block.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.120
As you can see here, if I use 'Auto Layout',
the blocks stack with the following blocks.

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.440
This is not really nice, and it
also results in crossings here.

00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:43.840
We changed this behavior in the latest version
of MoRe, and when I use 'Auto Layout' here,

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:52.320
you can see that these blocks no longer
stack and we now have a really nice layout.

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.560
The last point, also regarding sync blocks,

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.720
is that we improved the behavior of
these blocks when it comes to branching.

00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:01.920
When I use 'Auto Layout' here in the old
version of MoRe, you can see that the

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.440
sync block is placed far down here. This does
not look very nice and is not very intuitive.

00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:10.960
So, if I use 'Auto Layout' in
the latest version of MoRe,

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.200
you can see that the sync block is now
placed directly under the branching line.

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:26.080
This looks much clearer and is much
closer to how you would place it yourself.

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.760
So, that is it for today.

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:33.360
Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
