How to remove the error highlighting in Simulink?

Hi all,

I just have an easy question. After using the Diagnostics panel and highlighting the block with an error, the highlighting will stay there despite fixing the error. Is there a quick way to remove the highlighting without closing and re-entering Simulink? Its not experience ending, just slightly annoying at times, especially when I know I fixed the problem.

Edit: With other blocks I can use the command "remove highlighting" or ctrl+shift+h, however with this particular block (and a few others I found), it doesn't seem to work.

What is the output if you select the highlighted block and run:

get_param(gcb, 'HiliteAncestors')

Unfortunately, I have the same mistake - maybe it is a bug?

Workaround:

• 'Right Click' on the affected block --> 'Format' --> 'Foreground Color' --> Select 'Black'
• 'Right Click' on the affected block --> 'Format' --> 'Background Color' --> Select 'White'

Try Simulation Menu bar > Update diagram. Alternatively, you may also try, Diagram Menu bar > Refresh blocks.

I tried those, and unfortunately neither worked. If I had to assume, it would be a small bug with Matlab. It doesn't alter functionality luckily.

Which MATLAB version is this?

[Joshua Yeggy]

Matlab 2017b, apologies, it wouldn't let me add the version.

Can you try this?

select this block and then run this in Command window

hilite_system(gcb,'none')

[Joshua Yeggy]

Unfortunately no luck with this command.

I noticed now that the signal line is also highlighted. Not sure how it happened. If you could use an example model, describe how to make this error happen, maybe I can look it further.
