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.

    If typing in the CIW, put the preXY on the same line as leHiCreateInst. Note that this will only work if the form is already completed (ie the lib/cell/view is filled in).

    Otherwise perhaps you're better off using dbCreateInst?
