What exactly do you mean with 'Select' - 'select' normally refers to clicking on a figure (which is not necessarily an instance - could also be a shape or via for example) in a graphic environment and in such add it to the so called selected set. That requires your design to be opened in a schematic editor however and dbOpenCellViewByType(..) doesn't open a design editor - it just returns a cellview data object. Now with that cellview data object you can get at the instances with cv~>instances As I said there are other figures (a figure is everything you can "select" in a graphic design editor) like vias, shapes and more..everyone has their corresponding database attribute to access it cv~>shapes cv~>vias cv~>markers etc... To open a cellview graphically you have to you the geOpen(..) function.![]()
