Hi Mike, The problem is I don't define the functions AddPlot() and DrawPlots(). It's built into the python interpreter of the CLI version of the program I mentioned, and they are defined on the main script. I load the main script using something like "software -cli -s mainscript.py". In the mainscript.py I import myModule, but of course myModule does not have access to the functions defined in the global namespace of mainscript.py. Thanks.
