Hi @daanielangos,

If you modify the drillprogram.script to start with the line:
def drillprogram:
Then the current content of the file. And in the end insert:
end

And then add it to the Polyscope program tree before the Mainprogram.script, then it should work.

Ebbe

Thanks fro the help!! , is there any way to open the drillprogram without adding it on to the tree , and just adding the drillprogram.script on the programs folder ?

You can write a URCap and add it to the preamble.

Keep in mind that you can have multiple scripts in the same file, so the drillprogram can just be tacked onto the end of the script file for the calling program, meaning you can keep similar scripts together and have fewer script references within the Polyscope tree:

** Start of file drillstuff.script

def drill1():
.
#do stuff
.

drillprogram() #calling drillprogram
.
#do more stuff
.
end

def drillprogram:

.
#drill stuff
.

end

def morestuff():

.
#anything else
.

end

** End of file drillstuff.script
