I have recently started using Igor Pro. I have updated to version 6.2.1. I faced following problem:
The "XY Pair to Waveform" option is missing from Data -> Packages submenu. Why? What can I do so that all the options are visible by default in the all the submenu? Is it done intentionally by the developers or I have done some mistake while installation?
The file "XY Pair To Waveform Panel" is present in the "C:\Program Files\WaveMetrics\Igor Pro Folder\WaveMetrics Procedures\Data Manipulation" folder.

After looking in the file I could perform the job by calling "XY2WFM#ShowXYPairToWaveformPanel()", but I wanted to know why it is not present in the submenu.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You must use one of the two following methods:

* Open the command window (ctrl-M on Windows or command-M on Mac) and just below the #pragma rtGlobals=1 statement, type

#include <XY Pair To Waveform Panel>


Close the command window and, after the procedures recompile, you will see the menu selections.

* Make a shortcut or alias of the file XY Pair to Waveform Panel. Move that shortcut or alias to your own personal Igor Pro 6 User Files\Igor Procedures folder. This method will make the procedure always available for every time that you open Igor Pro.

My guess is that you have Autocompile turned off.

Make a trivial change in the Procedure window, and make sure AutoCompile is checked in the Macros menu.
