Test if one layer overlaps/is within another layer

veddycent

Hi all,

Is it possible, via scripting, to test if 1 layer is within/overlaps another layer?

Some context:
I'm loading a bunch of files(shape files, DTM and TIF) into GM which already contains a layer with an irregular area. I'd need to test if the loaded files overlaps/is within the irregular area, if it is I keep the layer if it is not I unload the layer.

I haven't found anything in the scripting docs which brings me here.

There was a similar question asked a while ago but never got a reply:

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
