placement of multiple elements using a file that contains the coordinates

Hi, without any example of what your file contain it is complicated to make an accurate answer...

The skeleton of the script will be : 

;; Open master of instances to create and coordinates file
(let ((master (dbOpenCellViewByType library cell view))
      (port   (infile file))
      (cv     (geGetEditCellView))
      coords)
  ;; Supposing each line contains a pair of coordinates, browse them
  (while (setq coords (lineread port))
    (when (listp coords)
      (dbCreateInstance cv master nil coords "R0") 
      );when
    );while
  ;; Close master and port
  (dbClose master)
  (close port)
  );let

The code obviously needs more checks (at least for lineread output) but this should be a good start

Depending of how your coordinates are written, you might want to shape lineread output to make it a pair of coordinates

Note that for now it works in current cellview
