Skill Qn: sch instId->bBox giving bigger boxes

[Suresh Jeevanandam]

Hi,
The size of instId->bBox is much larger than what one sees on the
schematic. However If you add a hilight to the figure using
geAddHilightFig(hlset instId), the hilighted box looks perfect. But from
the hilightObjId one can not get the bBox.
Is there any other way to get the bBox of the visible part of an instance.

Regards,
Suresh

try dbComputeBBoxNoNLP(cv), it doesn't take into account
the NLP label often present on symbols.

Maybe dbComputeBBoxNoNLP( instId~>cellView )
