I am trying to build some user guides for my students, including which buttons on the UI to click to get to specific things or which options in the preferences to set. As i would like to have some clean highlighting edited into them and also have them scalable to different presentations, I would prefer to use Vector Graphics instead of usual Screenshots in Bitmap/PNG style. Is there a way to export menues and similar views of Matlab/Simulink as SVG?

The print command can make decent pdf files:
[Z] = peaks(100);
surf(Z)
print('Myplot.pdf','-dpdf','-bestfit')
In your case you would specifiy the gui figure as your image:
print(fig, '-MyGui.pdf',-dpdf','-bestfit')

I do not find anything on how I can define the GUI of Matlab as a figure, could you elaborate on this? Also, please mind, I am not talking about a GUI i built in Matlab, I am talking about the GUI and Menus of Matlab itself

I assumed incorrectly that you meant a gui figure you built that has a figure handle. Not sure how to grab the Matlab gui programmatically.
