    Hi Roi,

    It's not a trival amount of code to do this. So I don't have an example which illustrates this. If you have connectivity in the database though, you can find all the figures on the nets at the current level, and then look at the instTerms on that net, and follow through to the term attribute (which will give you the terminal within the cellView a level below), and from this you can get the net, and then all the figures. Do the same again recursively...

    Something like:

    procedure(MYprocessNet(net)
      foreach(fig net~>fig
        ; do whatever you need to do with the figures
      )
      foreach(instTerm net~>instTerms
        MYprocessNet(instTerm~>term~>net)
      )
    )

    Regards,

    Andrew.
