 rookie question,

Can you pass a list to a function in skill?

I have a list called NailsBottom_xy and want to pass it to a procedure called ProbeCreate(xy_list)

I tried ProbeCreate(NailsBottom_xy) but noting happens. 

Currently I just try to print out each element of the list in the ProbeCreate procedure.

Thanks for any help,

Jerry

    Hi Jerry,

    Try something like this-

    defun( test ()
    myList='(1 2 3 4)
    passingList()
    )


    defun( passingList ()
    println(myList)
    )

    Turns out I was passing an empty list. Got it working now.
