SKILL script: How to create new symbol with manually determined pin locations

jbcooper

Hello,

I have a library which contains more than 50 cells. I want to create SKILL script creating symbol for each cells. But, all the pins are inout. When I use SKILL function like 

schViewToView(sourceLib cell~>name targetLib cell~>name sourceView targetView "schSchemToPinList" "schPinListToSymbol"), it creates symbol but all the pins are located on Top.

Could you help what functions or SKILL code is to determine the location of pins manually?

In addition, when I create symbol manually by "Create"->"Cellview"->"From Cellview", I have two pop-up windows after I create symbol. Could you also help how to click "yes" all the time whenever I create symbol by script? I worry the script stop running due to those pop-up window. I attach snap shot of two pop-up window.

Thank you.
