Layer.CreateCurve

Function CreateCurve(Source As Curve) As Shape

Member of Layer

The CreateCurve method creates a curve in a document. You can use this method after you have created an empty curve and have appended segments to it. See the Application.CreateCurve method to create a curve in memory.


Parameters	Description
Source	Specifies the source of the curve

The following code example creates a curve on the active layer:

Sub Test() 
 Dim crv As Curve 
 Dim s As Shape 
 Dim sp As SubPath 
 Set crv = CreateCurve(ActiveDocument) 
 Set sp = crv.CreateSubPath(1, 5) 
 sp.AppendLineSegment 2, 0 
 sp.AppendCurveSegment2 5, 7, 6, 6, 3, 5 
 sp.AppendCurveSegment2 7, 2, 3, 6, 7, 1 
 sp.AppendLineSegment 9, 6 
 sp.Nodes(3).Type = cdrSmoothNode 
 Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateCurve(crv) 
End Sub

The following code example creates a puzzle piece:

Sub Test() 
 Dim s As Shape, sp As SubPath, crv As Curve 
 Set crv = Application.CreateCurve(ActiveDocument) 
 Set sp = crv.CreateSubPath(1.351, 8.545)
