Identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

I have this function: 

short cmd_Draw2DPoly(short ThreeDmode, sds_point startpoint[]){...}

and I call it like this in another class 

cmd_Draw2DPoly(0, startpoint);

and this error shows up

error C3861: 'cmd_Draw2DPoly': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

Does anybody know what is wrong?

Looking at your profile makes me think you are a Java developer and you may be not familiar with the concept of namespace in C++ that may open and close in the middle of a file (unlike Java package that is extended to entire file). So check for the presence of such a block that may enclose the definition of cmd_Draw2DPoly.

You cannot call methods of a class without specifying the instance of that class. So if cmd_Draw2DPoly isn't a standalone function and is not a member of "another class" you can't call it like that.

If you call your member function from another class, you need to pass the object on which to call it.

someObject.cmd_Draw2DPoly(0, startpoint);
