Regarding "dbGetTrueOverlaps()"

Hi,

I am writing a code to get all instances under a marker layer. I tried to use dbGetTrueOverlaps() but it failed with an error of "*Error* dbGetTrueOverlaps: Invalid bBox - (((-0.915 0.025) (4.695 3.135)))". I have mentioned the code below, 

 

 procedure(nvGetVia3()

cv=geGetEditCellView()

x=geGetSelSet()

y=x~>bBox

shape_new=dbGetTrueOverlaps(cv y)

)

 

Thanks & Regards

Neeraj

    Sorry I pressed the POST button twice.....

     You may do like below to NOT get any nil.

    I think y=x~>bBox is not the list format dbGetTrueOverlaps() wants.

     

     procedure(nvGetVia3()

    cv=geGetEditCellView()

    x=geGetSelSet()

    y=x~>bBox

    shape_new=dbGetTrueOverlaps(cv car(y))

    )

     

    Thanks
