Positioning the instances in Layout editor by using SKILL

 Dear All,

I am trying to place copies of an instance/object ( say a simple via ) with 'x' distance separation in X-direction.

Is there any in-built feature already available in IC5141 ?

Otherwise, is there any solution ( SKILL script) already posted in the forum ? I searched but couldn't find so.

The code needs three functions:

1) Find the cordianate of the OBJECT/INSTANCE ( this I have already found in the Forum)

2) Copy the object. For this what is the SKILL function ?

3) Paste the desired distance separation ( For palcing wht is the simple SKILL function)

Couls anybody please tell regarding this.

Kind Regards,

     Dear Andrew,

    Thanks a lot.

    But  I don't want to find the xy coordinate. It will be more time consuming.

    See, I have a object. Earlier I was just copying the object with (xPitch=x yPitch=0).

    Now I want the same but the object will be flipped i.e. the gap between the objects must be same as that of non-flipped case and there should not be any vertical movemnet of the new object. Same can be desire for yPitch case.

    Kind Regads,
