    It's possible that this routine is defined in a "context" file and you don't have a 64-bit version of that "context" file to find the required routine. "Plain text" and "encrypted" Skill files generally work fine for both 16.x, 32-bit, and 17.x, 64-bit, versions but context files are compiled and have to be the correct architecture for the application version. PCB Editor takes care of this by using the same initialisation for both architectures but loads any 64-bit versions from a 64bit subdirectory alongside the existing scripts and context files, this means that they will work with a "file copy" without changing any configuration. (This is the default behaviour but, as ever, it's possible to override this). Your missing routine may have come from the "autosilkutils" from eDave, in which case, he recently posted a 64-bit version to the PCB Skill forum which may help in resolving this issue.
