How to specify coords for leHiCreateInst() ?

jaleco

 Is there any way to either add coordinates to or pass coordinates to leHiCreateIns() without clicking in the interface?

I would like to place instances generally at the origin, but often at other known coordinates, and would like to do so without first zooming in close enough to get an exact snapped coordinate, or alternatively by clicking at a random location to place, and then having to select the instance, get its properties, and finally specify the correct coordinate location.

Any insight into streamlining this or if there is a script to do it would be much appreciated.

    And, if you are asking about this interactively (rather than 'scripted') then you can just enter the coordinates in the CIW, e.g. 0:0 or "list(0 0)".  So, in short, if you are running a command interactively then you can typically supply one or more pairs of coordinates in the CIW, but if you are trying to use a scripted flow (such as in a regression suite) then you might use preXY() before a command.
