as standing for "instance"---it selects cell instances (equivalent command "select cell". A pin is a layer and a label, not an instance (at least that's the way that Magic handles pins). To move a bit of layer geometry or a label, select with the s
key (equivalent command "select"). If you want to move multiple layers and labels, you can use the a
key (equivalent command "select area"). However, area selection does not select cell instances if they are expanded, it will select the material inside of them (which can then be copied, but cannot be moved). If you want to move both material and cells at the same time, the two choices are (1) unexpand the cells first with X
(equivalent command "unexpand") and then do an area selection with a
, or (2) select items one at a time with S
("select more") and I
("select more cell").Morris Frazier
