how to descend, implement changes, then ascend, from an instance using skill code

Adhil
I am designing a program to to select instances in a given layout descend into the layout and then upsize it from 36nm x 36nm to 40nm x 40nm. but i have no problem descending into an instance to impliment the changes, but i have a problem getting out to go to the next instance. please help me, here is my code.

procedure(instance_descend()
inst = geGetEditCellView()~>instances
foreach(inst_hld inst
geSelectFig(inst_hld)
leHiDescend()
ca_select() ;select all the ca s
ca_enlarge() ; upsize them
leHiSave() ; save
leReturnToLevel()->geReturnToLevelLB->value = list(1 "0 adhil_lib test layout"); return up
mapc('geDeselectFig inst_hld); unselect instant
)
)

please help me!!

    Sounds like you are making this too complicated. You don't really want to do with interactive functions, you want to use the underlying Skill db functions.

    CORRECTION: You need to pass the master cellview ID into the ca_select (if this routine is even necessary) and the ca_enlarge. Make sure these routines work on the cellview id (master) that is passed in.

    foreach(master geGetEditCellView()~>instanceMasters
    ca_select(master) ;select all the ca s
    ca_enlarge(master) ; upsize them
    dbSave(master)
    )
