Hiding and Displaying the Subsystem Boundary

You can enter the subsystem view of a subsystem in the model workspace to view and edit the subsystem contents.  The typical view of a subsystem includes a border and a dotted boundary line.  For example, here is the detailed view of a subsystem:

 

 

You can control whether to display the subsystem boundary.  Hiding the boundary can be useful to have more workspace for  viewing a large subsystem.

To hide subsystem boundaries in the model workspace

• 

From the View menu, clear the check box beside Show Subsystem Boundary.

To display subsystem boundaries

• 

From the View menu, select Show Subsystem Boundary. The subsystem boundary is displayed when you are in the detailed view of a subsystem.

 

Note: You can add subsystem ports in two ways.  One way is to draw a connection from the component port to the subsystem boundary (the dotted line surrounding the subsystem).  The other way is to draw a connection from the component port to an empty location in the workspace, and then right-click (Control-click for Mac) and select the location for the subsystem port.  For details, see Adding Ports to Subsystems.
