How to change sym extents for axlDBCreateSymDefSkeleton

Hi

I'm using axlDBCreateSymDefSkeleton to generate some symbols from text files, the problem here is that I need to feed the symextents as a parameter.

I'm not dumping the libraries, but still would like to minimize the symextents after the symbol is created.

Anyone with an idea about how this can be done? axlDBChangeDesignExtents does not take a symbol definition as an argument.

As a side question, is there a way to keep the Skeleton symbol in the board file without placing it when several skeleton symbols are created?

Best regards Ole

    I used this

    ext = axlExtentDB('obstacle)

    axlDBChangeDesignExtents(ext)
