Layer Information at a point

Is there a skill function to obtain the overlapping layer information at a point say (x,y). Also is it possible to get their database id's.

    Short answer is dbGetOverlaps (works on bounding boxes only) and dbGetTrueOverlaps (works on real shapes). Both return a list of database objects in the current cellview and (nested) lists with instances and their content.

    Longer answer(s) can be found here, including examples on how to process the obtained list.
