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

    Just a quick update.

    Iterating over all dbids and removing dbids that return nil solves the issue

    I found out that the problem was related to a slot hole that had no pad definition but still got selected as a pin on the subclass that was visible. But axlDBGetExtents return nil

    Best regards
