finding neighboring components of a pin - axlAirGap help

solene D 
Hello, 
I am new to skill and I need help please.

I try to find all the neighboring components of a pin (present in a certain radius r from the pin) in order to determine those which are too close to the pin. 
For that, I would like to use the airgap to have the distance edge to edge. I have tried with the axlAirGap function but I can't manage to do so. 
Indeed, it does not work for symbols and when I try to make pin to pin (I measure the distance between my pin and all the pins of the neighboring component and I take the smallest distance)
it does not work for the pins "mirrored". 
In addition, I want to do this measurement on several layers (because my pin is through). I do not understand how to make it work. 

Can anyone help me or have a similar code to do that? 
Thank's

    axlAirGap can measure between component symbol place_bound shapes...

    Below I started the 'show element' command & selected 2 component place_bound shapes, then issued the following skill commands:

    Skill > s1=car(axlGetSelSet())
    dbid:000000713FDD83F0
    Skill > s2=cadr(axlGetSelSet())
    dbid:000000713FDDC328
    Skill > s1->objType
    "shape"
    Skill > s2->objType
    "shape"
    Skill > Result = axlAirGap( s1 s2 nil 'anyLayer)
    13.49
    Skill > (Result = Result * 0.001)
    0.01349
