Hi Lumerical

I was going through the beginners tutorial regarding building custom CML (https://support.lumerical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037141714).

In step 4 " updating the XML data file using generate_template_xml.py" after changing the python script when I run the script I get an error message "line 46, in   if globalgroup_list:

NameError: name 'globalgroup_list' is not defined". The instructions in step 4 ask to remove the statistical information part of the python code and so there is no globalgroup_list variable to execute the if statement under the "# do not modify" set of commands.

Could you let me know how this can be fixed?

I believe there may be a mistake in this script, I will look into this and get back to you. To fix this, you can add empty globalgroup_list, corrgroup_list, and corner_list lists to the beginning of the script, so these if statements evaluate to false:
globalgroup_list = []
corrgroup_list = []
corner_list = []
