attach label to a pin as a 'children'

Dear all,

 I have only pins in the layout and I want to attach a label to it. Unfortunatelly the 'children' cannot be set.

Anyone knows how to set it correctly?

Here is the example of my code. 

Regards,

 

cv=geGetWindowCellView()
p=caar(cv~>terminals~>pins)
foreach(p cv~>terminals~>pins
p1=car(p)
p1~>net~>name
f1=car(p1~>figs)
unless(f1~>children f1~>children=
dbCreateLabel(cv list(f1~>layerName  "label" ) centerBox(f1~>bBox)
p1~>net~>name "centerLeft" "R0" "roman" 0.5)))

    Don't set the children - set the parent attribute on the object being attached. That's because an object can have one parent but multiple children. Setting the parent attribute will automatically update the children attribute on the parent object (if that's not too confusing...)
