Edward,
  term = dbFindTermByName(cv "AVSS")
  pins = term~>pins
  figs = term~>pins~>fig

This must be faster than going through every shape in the cellview.

If you want to use regular expression or any other conditional selection 
of pins:
  terms = setof( term cv~>terminals rexMatchp("PATTERN" term~>name))
  foreach(term terms
      pins = term~>pins
      figs = term~>pins~>fig
      ; something here
     )
