Find when 2 layers overlap using skill

[vtcad]

I need to size all poly shapes in my layout, but I need to treat poly routes/gates different than poly in my caps. All poly caps contain a recognition layer over them (not coincident with poly edge, its smaller) , how can I find all the poly shapes that have this layer over it? I've tried using the dbGetTrueOverLaps function but it doesn't work on my polygon shapes.

You could use dbLayerStraddle(), or dbLayerEnclose() - you'd need to
check what is the right dbLayer* function for your needs.
