dbLayerTile need help

Hi everyone,

 I am writing a code where i needed to fracture layers vertically and horiontally. I used dbLayerTile to fracture them vertically and I created my own version that fracture layers horiontally since I could not find anything in the documantation that do this job. My problem is I wanted to boost the performance of the code so my first thought is to rotate them by 90deg and then execute dbLayerTile a second time then bring them altogether to their original position. But how to write this in a code in a simplest way still puzzles me.

Any suggestions?

    Wouldn't it be easier to find the bBox of all the poly, widen that bBox a bit, use dbLayerSize to increase the size of the poly by a certain amount and then And it with the enlarged bBox (to chop off any oversizing at the top and bottom)?

    Something like that?

    Andrew.
