Delta-X and Delta-Y in InstanceForm

Hi All,
I am trying to write a skill code for an instance with
desired libName, CellName, Viewname,rows, columns, Delta-X and Delta-
Y. I have wrote like this,
procedure( desiredinst()
envSetVal("layout" "instLibName" 'string "Standard")
envSetVal("layout" "instCellName" 'string "AND")
envSetVal("layout" "instViewName" 'string "layout")
envSetVal("layout" "instRows" 'int 1)
envSetVal("layout" "instColumns" 'int 3)
envSetVal("layout" "instDelX" 'float 3.0)
envSetVal("layout" "instDelY" 'float 6.3)
leHiCreateInst()
);procedure

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Alt<Key>i" "desiredinst()")

With the above procedure , I am getting the instance Form
fields with desired libName, CellName, View Name, Rows, Columns
only. But "instDelX "(Delta X) "instDelY" (Delta Y) values are not
with desired values and having with default values.
1) How can i change the Delta-X and Delta-Y fields in
instanceForm using skill code.
2) Why the above "instDelX" and "instDelY" variables are not
reflecting in InstanceForm Field.

Help me Please,
Thank You.

Which version are you using? It seems to be working for me...
Ah, that may be because Standard/AND/layout doesn't exist. Otherwise I think it
gets auto-populated by the width and height of the cell.
