How can I pull in variables from another object

Anonymous
Not applicable
Can any one please show by example the simplest way if one How I can display a "called" object's variable values in the Parameters window.

I am trying to set up a railing object in which I am making a call on spindles and railings and I would like to have the option to use the called objects values or input my own values. Any suggestions or ideas would greatly be appreciated.

What is the reason for "end" ?
How can you get the values to show up in the main Parameters?
since this is a 3D object How would it work in the 3D script?
A=1, zzyzx=3. Is there a specific reason for these values?

You must have the "END" because after this there follow the parameters which have to b returned. If you don't have "END" and the parameters it will not work. It's just a syntax rule.

I use a call in 2D-Script; the same could be done in 3D-Script
A=1, zzyzx=3. Is there a specific reason for these values?
These are random values, no reason for them.

You mean the parameters in the Caller? I think then tje following should be in the parameter script
CALL "called1" PARAMETERS returned_parameters A, B, ZZYZX
PARAMETERS A=A, B=B,ZZYZX = ZZYZX
