How to repair miscalculated bBox of an object that I cannot spot on the layout?

Hi!

I have manually changed by accident a bBox coordinates of one of the shapes in my layout. The bBox is floating somewhere in empty space of the canvas and I can not find a way to show it. Consequently the whole project bBox is larger than necessary.

How can I:

1. Figure out which bBox is outside the prBoundary area?

2. Repair the bBox coordinates?

Is there actualy any tool that can do operations on bBoxes?

With best regards!

The following should help...

Reason for cell's large-sized boundary or bounding box aka bBox area or extent of layout. SKILL to delete steiners, markers, guides, remove invisible ghost layers, shapes. (cadence.com)

Thank you for giving me link to this comprehensive guide! I followed most of its content and now the problem seems to be gone...
Anyway, it is a great source of information about repairing the canvas of the design.

The problem in my case was in steiners. I have deleted all of them using the provided command:

cv=geGetEditCellView()
foreach(sh cv~>steiners
dbDeleteObject(sh)
) ;foreach
