textDisplays doesn't exist till you edit pin name height

 I'm writing some skill code to increase all pin names 10%.

 First step is to do this for one pin. I find that

 cvId~>terminals gives me the terminals.

aPin = car(cvId~>terminals) gives me one pin to work with.

If I 'q' the pin name on the schematic after selecting it (why doesn't geGetSelSet give nil when a pin name is selected??), I see 0.0625.

 However, aPin~>textDisplays is nil

Only if I change the value using the form, does aPin~>textDisplays exist. Then I can use aPin~>textDisplays~>height to change the size.

Question : What should I do to avoid the human interaction?

Thanks!

     Any thoughts Andrew, Lawrence? This would really boost my productivity when I'm doing reverse engineering.

     Thanks
