    Use axlExtentDB to get the lower left xy.

    See the documentation for axlDBCreateFilmRecord. However, use the command axlfcreate.

    Your code might look something like this:

    exts = axlExtentDB()
    axlfcreate("FILMNAME" list(0 car(exts) cadr(exts) 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1) '("ETCH/TOP"))

    Regards, Dave

    Hi Dave,

         Thanks a lot.

    I mean to get the Left X and Lower Y of the Design Extents from the Design Parameter Editor.BTW,the artwork film had been created,I also can use the command axlDBCreatFilmRecord if I only want to modify the x_offset and y_offset.

     Best Regards,

    Victor Wang
