Deleting Schematic instance and instantiating another device on the same origin

Hi Andrew,

I 'am trying your abMapAndWire.ils

I want to migrate this instance to the new process:               pnp5(old process)                       pnp(new process)

Instance Name is                                                                         "Q1"                                          "Q0"

Instance Orientation is                                                                 "MY"                                          "R0"

Instance Terminal Name is                                                             "C"                                           "C"

Pin Name is                                                                             "IO|P__2"                                       "3"

Instance Terminal Name is                                                             "E"                                           "B"

Pin Name is                                                                             "IO|P__1"                                       "2"

Instance Terminal Name is                                                             "B"                                           "E"

Pin Name is                                                                              "IO|P__0"                                      "1"

But I'am having an error on (abMapAndWireLoadConfig "config.file")
 

Here is the content of my config.file

(
  nil
  xSnapSpacing 0.0625   ; defaults to 0.0625
  ySnapSpacing 0.0625   ; defaults to 0.0625
  fontHeight 0.0625     ; defaults to xSnapSpacing
  addWireLabels t       ; if it should add labels for wire stubs left by
                        ; inherited connections
  map

   (nil

    ; all to setting default to the from settings, and the
    ; fromView defaults to "symbol".

    fromCell "pnp5"
    fromView "symbol_xform"
    toLib "tsmcN40"
    toCell "pnp"
    toView "symbol"
    ; if any pin names need mapping, do that here. Otherwise
    ; can omit
    pinMap (("IO|P__2" "3") ("IO|P__1" "2") ("IO|P__0" "1"))
    ; Which pins should not be wired, but should replace with a
    ; netSet on the instance
    ;pinToNetSet (("B" "nbulk"))
    ; which pin should be considered the origin - in other words,
    ; stay where it is. It does not have to be the origin of the symbol
    pinOrigin "IO|P__0"
    ; this is the orientation you need to give to the new symbol
    ; to rotate it to the same orientation as the old symbol
    orient "MY"
    )
   )
  )
 

*Error* Could not find mapped pin 1 on tsmcN40/pnp/symbol

and when I comment pinMap (("IO|P__2" "3") ("IO|P__1" "2") ("IO|P__0" "1")), here is the error:

*Error* Could not find mapped pin 1 on tsmcN40/pnp/symbol

What would be the correct input for my config.file?

Is it needed that pin names of an instance must be the same for old process and new process so that errors such as above will not show?

Hope you can help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
