    Charley,

    This will happen if you have mosaics. I neglected to include a check in the code:

    procedure(CCFgetInstanceNamesAndCoords(master @optional (transform list(0:0 "R0" 1)) (hierInstPath "/"))
      foreach(inst master~>instances
        when(inst~>objType=="inst"
          printf("%s%s %L\n" hierInstPath inst~>name dbTransformPoint(inst~>xy transform))
          CCFgetInstanceNamesAndCoords(
            inst~>master
            dbConcatTransform(inst~>transform transform)
            strcat(hierInstPath inst~>name "/")
          )
        )
      )
      t
    )

    The code above should run, but will ignore mosaics.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
