Forum Post: RE: Tried using the ABE to obtain layer within a bBox, got all abutting layer shapes instead

Hi Andrew, Thanks a lot. This works as expected for the case when the two instances have non-overlapping bBoxes. It will fail (as expected) if the bBoxes overlap. For that case I found that a good workaround is to extract the shapes from the instance's master then transform their points via dbTransformPoint .
