layout pin creation after binding the devices between schematic and layout

Thanks Andrew for this detailed reply.

But for me any word can bring me down or up specially for something i'm struggling to get familiar with it in a very small time.

Anyway, i'll try to explain what i want again in more details.

1) I have a schematic like in the following snap shot:

2)  A layout pattern generated from a skill script ( this layout has the instances mentioned in the above schematic and the rest of some dummies are not put in the schematic)

3) I want to bind the above schematic with this layout using this script

procedure(bind_inst(schCV layCV instList)

lxSetConnRef("sch_lay_binding" "CM_UPPER" layCV "CELLVIEW")

foreach(instName instList

       bndRemoveInstBindingByName(schCV instName)

          foreach(inst setof(x layCV~>instances strncmp(x~>name instName 2) == 0)
               bndRemoveInstBindingByName(layCV inst~>name)
               bndAddInstsBindingByName(schCV instName layCV inst~>name)
        )

)
lxUpdateComponentsAndNets(schCV layCV
?initCreateInstances nil
?initDoStacking nil
?initDoFolding nil
?initCreatePins t
?initGlobalNetPins nil
?initCreatePadPins nil
?initCreateBoundary nil
?initCreateSnapBoundary nil
?initCreateMTM nil
?deleteUnmatchedInsts nil
?deleteUnmatchedPins nil
?updateReplacesMasters nil
?updateWithMarkers nil
?updateNetsOnly t
?updateLayoutParameters t
?extractSchematic t )

)
bind_inst(dbOpenCellViewByType("sch_lay_binding" "CM_UPPER" "schematic")
dbOpenCellViewByType("sch_lay_binding" "CM_UPPER" "layout_test") '("M7" "M6" "M9"))

What i got in the CIW after running it shown in the following snap shot, the only instances are bound but no pins created. 

Questions:

1) Why the pins are not created despite mentioning that option "TRUE" in the lxUpdateCompnentsAndNets?

2) If these options are not written so their default values are "TRUE", correct?

Help Request:

1) need to know what should i modify in my script in order to Create the pins with their labels on M1 with purpose pin for both the pin and its label?

2) Since the instances in the layout are bound to schematic so the connectivity for each instance in the layout are known 

example: for M7

"inst~>instTerms~>net~>name
("IREF" "VDD" "IREF" "VDD")"

So i need to make use of this information + pins created from the previous step and place the appropriate pins for source, drain, gate for each instance (multiplier) in the layout as i need to connect them virtually.

how can i do that in my case?

I hope i made it so clear.

Thanks
