  I finally get my GUI updated but if I run a flatten command on the Array the original x,y position is taken. Do I miss a step to update the new x,y position the database?

  My steps are:
  trans = pya.DCplxTrans(newX,newY)
inst.transform(trans) #move the selected instances
topCellIndex = layout.top_cell().cell_index()
layout.flatten(topCellIndex,1,True)
  Finally I check some conditions and based on the result I add the instance to a list to be deleted.

  Best Regards,
  Andy

  Got it - required to reset the active_cellview().layout().

  Hi Andy,

  I can help if I see the actual code - specifically where the layout object comes from.

  And you can use markdown for the code - just place triple backticks before and after the code.

  Hello Matthias,
  Thanks a lot for your support.
  My mistake was a quite ordinary one - I used globals()['layout']=layout to store a layout object as a global var in another part. This was in conflict with my layout object used in another ....python module.
  Got it running ... bricking in a Wafer Shot works now.
  I'm very curious to see your python standalone module working (found on github). I could move the development into my spyder environment ... and make use of it in other SW using the ipc channel.

  Best Regards and thanks a lot for all your work and support you spent the past year.
  Andy
