     Hi Yuhua,

    Your code seems close, I think you only need to modify the "if" statement:

    when(label0=car(setof(label cv~>shapes label~>theLabel=="[@cellName]"))
    
      label0~>labelJustify~>value = "lowerLeft"
      label0~>lHeight~>value = 0.1
      printf("Done - cell \"%s\" \n" cv~>cellName)
    
    ); end when
    

    Please note that I have not tested this, I am just reading the code.  I changed the use of "member" to "setof" to obtain the label dbId.  I also changed the "if" statement to "when" since it does not have an "else" part.  Hopefully this will fix the problem though.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    label0~>labelJustify="lowerLeft"         ----------------> not change , none error message  
    label0~>labelHeight=0.1                   -----------------> not change , none error message

    Hi YuHua,

    It should be:

    label0~>justify="lowerLeft"
    label0~>height="0.1"

    You got the attribute names wrong. If you do label0~>?? you'll see the names and values of all the attributes on the label object (it's in the documentation too for the database objects).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
