Hold on in for loop doesn't work

I want to plot several curves using a for loop, but hold on doesn't work.

I also tried to set the property of 'axis' (i.e. see below 'figure()') but it doesn't work.

The only thing that I could do is hardcoding the number of the figure (i.e. see above figure(1)).

for ii = 1:5
    d = dlmread([data{ii} '\simulation_results.txt'],'\t',delLine,0);
    ang = d(:,2);
    y = d(:,featCol);
    
    % Consider only the last shaft revolution
    ang = ang-(ang(end)-360);
    y = y(ang>0);
    ang = ang(ang>0);
    
    % figure(1)
    figure()
    % set(gca,'NextPlot','add')
    plot(ang,y,'linewidth',1.5)
    hold on; grid on;  

Why it doesn't work using hold on or setting the properties?

You are calling figure inside the loop. You need to put that outside of the loop, or make sure another way that you have a single figure.
