simulink can't select add icon image

Trying to change the icon on a block but I am not able to select "add icon image".

Do I need to change any settings?

Btw:I am using Matlab online.

Hi! is this a Simulink buildin block or you created it ?

Hi Matteo,

There is another way to add icon to the blocks if you are unable to select the “Add Icon Image” option. You can follow these steps:

1. Go to “Edit Mask” or “Create Mask” option.
2. In the Mask Editor, go to the “Icon” tab.
3. From the side bar on the left, select “image()” from Icon Drawing Commands.
4. Provide the image file path as the parameter in the “image()” function.
5. Click “Save Mask”.

Please note that the path of the image file is relative to your MATLAB drive home. You cannot select image file from your local machine.

You should be able to see the selected image as block icon.

This seems to happen with 2021b. Here is a workaround I found:

1. Go to "Edit mask"
2. Select "Unmask" in the lower left corner, your mask will be deleted so you may want to store mask data somehow.
3. Now the "Add Icon Image..." should be enabled
