@Everyone, How can we move the cell instantiated in the design. The command : move n 10 doesn't work. It just move the box not the instantiation.

Select the instance with the "i" key or the "select cell <instance_name>" command, then use the "move" command.

@Tim Edwards, using 'i' to move the cell doesn't work, as on pressing 'i' it selects the complete top level layout not the instance. Also using "select cell < cell_name> " can not be used ,as the part which i need to move contains multiple instances of cell, so this also doesn't work.

"select cell" requires the instance name as argument, not the cell name. The "i" key will select the entire top level if the mouse pointer is over empty space. You want to have the mouse pointer on top of the instance you want to select.

@Tim Edwards Is there any method to select multiple instances and move them together in magic? Right now, have to select each instance using

i

key and then move using

m

key.

There are three ways to do this: (1) Unexpand cells with

Shift-X

and then select everything with

a

and move it all at once (2) Progressively add the instances to the selection: Select layers with

a

and then add instances to the selection with

Shift-I

and then move it all at once (3) Use the command line with

select area; select more area subcell

and then move it all at once.

Thanks very much @Tim Edwards. 1st method worked well for me.
