Regarding "dbGetTrueOverlaps()"

Neeraj Vardhan

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

    This is because geGetSelSet returns the list of selected objects and hence y contains the list of bounding boxes. So you can either do x=car(geGetSelSet()) and keep your call to dbGetTrueOverlaps as before, or use the approach that RFStuff suggested below.
