I’m working on a pair of DLL files. The sag of the second DLL depends on the parameters of the first DLL, plus a few other parameters. What’s the best way to share information between these two user-defined surfaces? Do I need to add pickups for every parameter (manually or via script)? Or is there some way to pass the entire 1st surface as a parameter/argument to the 2nd surface?

I think Pickups are a good idea, there’s also a possibility to have some data in a text file that the DLLs can pickup, see the following Knowledge Base Article and forum post:
although I imagine it must add some overhead compared to Pickups.
Take care,
