Syntax

exportToVersion(dictionaryObj,target_folder,version)

Description

exportToVersion(dictionaryObj,target_folder,version) exports the data dictionary dictionaryObj to the folder target_folder in a format that the specified previous Simulink^® version can load.

Examples

Export a Data Dictionary to a Previous Version

Represent the data dictionary sldemo_fuelsys_dd_controller.sldd with a Simulink.data.Dictionary object named myDictionaryObj.

openExample('sldemo_fuelsys_dd_controller')
myDictionaryObj = Simulink.data.dictionary.open('sldemo_fuelsys_dd_controller.sldd');

Export the data dictionary to a previous version of Simulink.

exportToVersion(myDictionaryObj,'myR2018aFolder','R2018a');

Input Arguments

dictionaryObj — Data dictionary

Simulink.data.Dictionary object

Data dictionary, specified as a Simulink.data.Dictionary object. Before you use this function, represent the target dictionary with a Simulink.data.Dictionary object by using, for example, the Simulink.data.dictionary.create or Simulink.data.dictionary.open function.

target_folder — Target folder for dictionary

string scalar | character vector

Target folder for the new version of the dictionary, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: 'myR2018aFolder'

Data Types: char | string

version — MATLAB^® release name

string scalar | character vector

MATLAB release name, specified as a character vector or string scalar, which specifies a previous Simulink version. The release name is not case sensitive. Simulink.data.Dictionary.exportToVersion exports the data dictionary to a format that the specified previous Simulink version can load. The value must be R2014a or later. You cannot export to your current version.
