    The bounding box (bBox) is an attribute of the cellView, which is computed from the bounding boxes of all the figures (shapes and instances etc) within the cellView. So it's not editable because it's derived from the contents. It would be meaningless to be able to edit it. I don't understand what you are asking when you want to know where "these props are stored".

    Why do you want to edit the bounding box - what are you trying to actually achieve? Maybe we can answer the underlying question instead?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    So I make layout in some cellview , the problem appears when I want to fit (press key "F") this layout in my work window ,its not fit , I mean there is a lot empty space around but in this empty space there is no wires no instances no layers nothing I thing that this is some bug or I don't no.Thats why I ask how to reshape the BBox . " I don't understand what you are asking when you want to know where "these props are stored" " - Sorry , I have not asked correctly . I mean props like properties ,and let's try again. Because may be this information about coordinates of BBox is store in a some file ,my idea is this..if i edit the coordinates direct in the file ,may be my layout will fit. Regards
