I am using this function in creating a program for auto creating a via on the point of click, however i the paramater passed are not actually implemented in the layout. i am using it this way via=dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(cv "REFLIB24" "V1" "layout" nil ctr "R0" 1 list(list("X" "float" x) list("Y" "float" y))) here i will pass the value of x and y , which will be the width and length of the via, the form is updated but the it is not implemented in layout i have also tries to use the combination of cdfUpdateInstParam(via) but it is taking some junk value, please suggest any improvement if you now

    There's not much I can advise without seeing the actual REFLIB to know how the via is defined. 

    The only thing I would point out is that your code could do with some indentation, and also having sensible names for the functions with prefixes to ensure they are unique and don't clash with somebody else who also writes a function bbox or getlocation...

    The reason I suggested logging a service request is that then you might be able to share the technology data so that one of our support team can take a look armed with sufficient data to be able to diagnose the problem.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
