Putting my special AE's "ESP" circuit on, I'm guessing that the original
question was asking how to move an instance in SKILL?

If you do:

instId~>xy = newX:newY

then you'll find that

instId~>bBox

will have been updated.

Or if you did:

; move with a transformation
dbMoveFig(instId instId~>cellView list(xShift:yShift "R0" 1))

it will also get updated.

Or perhaps you just want to know how to do "Edit->Move" and move the instance?
But I'm assuming that you're not trying to ask something quite that simple...

But of course, my ESP circuit may be faulty, and you may be asking some
question. Probably wise to ask a question that is clear.

Regards,

Andrew.
