Dear All,

I want to know how many shapes in this cellview (within hierarchy or not).

When using dbGetTrueOverlaps , if has more and more shapes even in Level 0 ,

It will take long time to ,,,,, .I use Ctrl + c , but it doesn't work unless kill the process .

 Can it counts when more than 5000 , it will stop or ... .

 

Thank you,

Charley

    Try doing:

    needNCells('list 15000000)
    needNCells('dbobject 15000000)

    before your code. This may help in avoiding it garbage collecting too often every time it uses the pool of objects up. 13 million shapes is quite a lot, beyond the default pool size in Virtuoso.
