pCell skill for beginners ...part II

Hi all, 

 

I was following the simple creation of a box with handles on this thread pCell skill for beginners.

 

I want to advance it a level up: 

Say I want to create a mosaic of the box. I am trying to implement something like 

(array=dbCreateSimpleMosaic

            pcCellView                     ;Name of the cellview
            pcMaster                     ;Name of the master cellview
            nil                     ;if specified, the instance is named t_name; if nil, the program assigns a unique name to the instance.
            (0.0:0.0)             ;Origin of the lower left instance in the array.
            "R0"                  ;Orientation of the instance.
              1                     ;Number of rows defining the size of the array.
               3                    ;Number of columns defining the size of the array.
            3
            2.101                     ;Spacing between the origins of the mosaic elements in x-direction.
            2                     ;Spacing between the origins of the mosaic elements in y-direction.
            ))    

 

 

I am trying to implement it in the pCell creation section but wither I am not using the correct Cell view name, or it doesn't create anything. 

 

What would be the optimum posaic implementation for multiplying the box n (3 in this case) time?

 

Thanks in advance !

    Not really enough to diagnose a problem. It would help if you provided the code that is not working to see what you're trying to do.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
