GDS basically allows these vectors to by any vectors, so you can create "sheared" arrays too.
However, some (legacy) systems are constrained to ROW and COLUMN being real row and columns when they import GDS. Cadence used to be such a case. So to stay on the safe side, the x step should go into the x component of COLUMN and the y step should go into the y component of ROW.

I have understand the problem.
I needed to insert the stepping in X and Y direction compiling the fields
"ROW VECTOR -----> X"
"COLUMN VECTOR -----> Y"

Right :-)
