Sorry, dumb question; But, what's the best way of selecting an area in tcl? Using "select area" only selects the metal routing and vias, but not the cell instances. I can select a single cell with "select cell", but using "select more cell" results in an error "Couldn't find a cell use named "at"".

@Jason Xie What version of magic are you using?

The cell instance needs to be un-expanded to select it or you will select the content (actual layers drawings) instead.

That works, thanks!

select area subcell

also works (and

select more area subcell

).

Good to know !
