How to see the properties of two cells together which are in same layout window.

Actually what i want to do

I have two similar cells layout in which I have created many parameter  (repetitions of  contacts and vias, and stretch lines). In one cell I have set the no. of via and contact through parameter which I have created using pcell. I want to see that parameters on screen and set the others cells parameters. 

So basically i need to see the properties of layout of two cells together. Could we do that? I am using virtuoso IC Version 6.1.5 for layout.

    Maybe it's not clear what you want, but can't you use the property assistant (Window->Assistants->Property Editor)? Select both instances, and then you get a tree of each property, underneath which you see the values (those which have differences between the two instances are shown in red). You can also use the right mouse button to see by instance rather than by property - expand all, and various other options. In this case I'm showing the CDF parameters, but  you can choose that too:
