axlExtentDB replacement in 17.2

lennyh

axlExtentDB reads in this order

1 BOARD GEOMETRY / OUTLINE

2 PACKAGE KEEPIN/ALL

3 ROUTE KEEPIN/ALL

what reads the new BOARD GEOMETY / DESIGN_OUTLINE for 17.2?

    Since there is only ever a single object on this layer, you could just get the bBox of the shape.

    in 16.6 i was using axlextenddb to find the center of design to place an artwork label
    some designs have multiple circuits so i have multiple board outlines and iam getting a bounding box on the multiple outlines and it returns the xy of the corners
    is there anything that does this now that we dont have board outlines any longer

    exts = axlDBGetShapes("BOARD GEOMETRY/OUTLINE") ~>bBox)

    maxExts = list(list(apply('min mapcar('caar, exts)), apply('min mapcar('cadar, exts))), list(apply('max mapcar('caadr, exts)), apply('max mapcar('cadadr, exts))))
