But if you don’t see taxiways for EDDF in the dialog, trying to debug your code above (which looks okay to me from a quick glance) is not going to get us far.

my dialog looks like this: https://s20.postimg.cc/xshhp0y8d/EDDF.png

my EDDF.groundnet.xml contains lines like these:
<arc begin="159" end="160" isPushBackRoute="0" name="L"  />

I guess these are the taxi ways... not all of my *groundnet.xml files
have something in the name.


Another thing that could make a change is if TerraSync or TerraGit is
used. As for me, I use TerraSync.

Both code snippets give me at ZBAA the same results like on EDDF
