     The actual connection elements are the figures which are designated pins on the terminals in the master.

    instId~>master~>terminals~>pins~>figs

    termIds = setof( term instId~>master~>terminals member( term~>name list( sourceTermName drainTermName ) )

    pinFigs = termIds~>pins~>figs ; This is a list of lists

    The figs are the objects in the master so if you want the coordinates of the objects, you have to transform their internal (master) coordinates by the instance transform -> dbTransformPoint( figPoint instId~>transform)
