Finding bBox for current visible layer

Hello Everyone,

Currently i am developing a skill that save and load detail. (axlDetailSave and axlDetailLoad)

Scale factor are define by user.

Thinking of move the final "detail" to specify location by it body center.

To do so, i may need to find out final "detail" bBox then with the combination of axlMidPointLine and axlCopyObject but i fail to find out the final "detail" bBox.

Any comment on how can i move the final "detail" by it body center?

or maybe how to find the bBox for final "detail"?

I think that's kind of difficult since there is no way to track the dbid's of the graphical objects created by axlDetailLoad()

One possible way would be to add a specific property to everything in the database before using (axlDetailSave and axlDetailLoad),

then scan the database for anything that doesn't have that property, add it to a list, then use axlDBGetExtents() on that list of objects, then delete that specific property from everything

Hi David,

Thanks for your input, i decided let user define the location by using axlEnterPoint(?prompts list("Click to paste")) and axlUIYesNo( "look good?" ) then put them inside while loop.

User can define location over and over until it look good..=)
