CloneLink.OutlineLinked

Property OutlineLinked As Boolean

The OutlineLinked property returns a value indicating if the outline attributes of a clone object are linked to its parent object. If the OutlineLinked property is True, the outline attributes of the cloned object are linked to the parent object. If linked, the clone has the same outline attributes as its parent object.

You can also break or restore a link by assigning a value to the property.

The following code example looks at the shapes in the current selection that are cloned objects, and restores several links (fill, outline, shape and color) between the cloned objects and their parent objects.

Sub FillLink() 
 Dim s As Shape 
 For Each s In ActiveSelection.Shapes(1).Clones 
  s.CloneLink.FillLinked = True 
  s.CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked = True 
  s.CloneLink.OutlineLinked = True 
  s.CloneLink.ShapeLinked = True 
  s.CloneLink.TransformLinked = True 
 Next s 
End Sub
