how to work around limits in axlDBGetExtents

Hi

I'm using the axlDBGetExtents function to get the extents but are running into issues depending on the number of dbids in my list.

So in some cases I run into issues simply due to the length of the list of dbids and axlDBGetExtents return "nil"

Is there any kind of workaround for this?

I know that 1487 dbids are ok whereas 2520 are not

Thanks in advance 

Best regards

Ole

    Hi

    I'm using the find filter to select with the command

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list( "noall" "vias" "shapes" "pins" "clines" "lines" "figures")

    ?onButtons list( "noall" "vias" "shapes" "pins" "clines" "lines" "figures")

    ) 

    Printing the list for objType exhibits the following types

    pin, path, via, shape, polygon

    That does not look like symdefs

     

    Bonus question, if I do the printing in the skill development window there seem to be a limit of 296 lines, how can I circumvent that limit? 

     

    Best regards
