abe command to find labels in a bbox

Hi, 

I'm writing a script to find all objects outside of prBoundary. I'm using abe commands to execute the script fast. But I couldn't find a way to get labels information using abe commands. 

I'm using dbGetTrueOverlaps command to get labels information. If I use dbGet command to get information of labels, there is no point in using abe commands to find shapes outside of prBoundary. 

Please let me know if there is a way to find labels using abe command. 

Thanks,
Prasad

    Advanced Boolean Engine (abe) functions will operate on shapes only. So you could derive a new shape from the label bBox an operate on this object.

    Sorry, but there's no direct abe command that allows you to directly retrieve labels information. Therefore, you will likely require taking an alternate approach or using multiple techniques with abe commands in combination to achieve your goal.
