I have made some code to construct a part to be used in Eagle3D.

If the part where i create the pins is placed outside the macro that creates the
shell all goes fine.
But when i place it all inside the macro it complains that the closing bracket
for the object cant be found and it finds object instead.
[code]
#macro TOOLS_RECT_BOGEN(i_radius,winkel,dicke,breite,laenge1,laenge2)
union{
    difference {
        cylinder{<(breite/2) * -1,0,0><breite/2,0,0>(i_radius + dicke)}
        cylinder{<(breite/2 + 0.1) * -1,0,0><breite/2 + 0.1,0,0>i_radius}
        box{ <(breite/2 + 0.1) * -1,(i_radius + dicke + 0.1) * -1, 0>,
             <breite/2 + 0.1, (i_radius + dicke + 0.1), (i_radius + dicke +
0.1)>
        }
        box{ <(breite/2 + 0.1) * -1,(i_radius + dicke + 0.1) * -1, 0>,
             <breite/2 + 0.1, (i_radius + dicke + 0.1), (i_radius + dicke +
0.1)> rotate <winkel,0,0>}
        }
        box{<(breite/2) * -1,i_radius, 0>, <breite/2,i_radius + dicke, laenge1

        box{<(breite/2) * -1, 0, i_radius * -1>, <breite/2,laenge2 * -1,

Maybe my use of object/union/difference is faulty but i cant see it.
Its sometimes not logical i think but maybe i am not thinking locical.
p.s. It looks that i am the only one using this newsgroup

You can't have more than one object inside another object. You need to 
put them inside a union instead.

That line should be union{ and then it seems to work.

Perhaps the problem is in a missing union?

In macro BB02JS_GRND(), the outermost object contains more than one object.
Change the outermost object to union, and it renders to completion.

We were all newbies once.

Absolutely.

And even after many years of use, we can still make simple errors...
