Hi there,

I couldn't find if anyone else is having the same problem, but I need to use [zl group] but this is coming up as a missing object. I am guessing that any of the other objects associated with zl will also be missing.

I am using PD 0.51.4

Sorry this has been posted before but I couldn't find it. All my plants seem correct in PD, I just don't seem to have these objects for some reason

thanks
Drew

@bonehead696 zl is part of the cyclone library. If you are missing an object you can just go to 'find externals' under the help menu and search for the object, will generally bring up the library it is from. In this case the object is 'zl,' 'group' is an argument to 'zl' so you would just search for 'zl.' The space between zl and group tells you that it is an argument and not part of the object's name.

Great! Thanks so much. Still getting used to working with Vanilla after ing on extended. Just need to get iem_alisttosym to work now. Even after downloading ilem library it doesn't appear Even when I open the iem_alisttosym-help file from within the externals folder. The help files there, but not the actual external.

Seems strange

@bonehead696 You need to add [declare -lib iemlib] to the patch. But I am pretty sure vanilla's [list tosymbol] does everything [iem_alisttosym] does so you can just replace the objects and skip the externals.

@bonehead696 yeah just add object [declare -lib iemlib] and then create object with zl group etc..
will work check help for more detailed info about it.

Also for cyclone and such u need to declare path not lib [declare -path cyclone]

Have a good day!
