Hi Lads,
I created a macor to generate an antenna with a port and all but it doesnt update automatically when i chage the parameters. Some parts repeat themselves and i replace them with functions. Unfortunately the macro runs once but when i update it doesnt recognise the functions anymore and gives and error like nothing is declared. For some reason the functions do not get passed properly into CST.Here is a simple expample. Tried public declaration but no effect. Unfortunately i need to fix this as is because for any mods in the structure countelss number of lines require modifications-really hard to do it and confusing-the more complicated drawing funtions are some 2 pages long with numerous parameters
Really appreciate your help
Thanks Syl
