Paths Collection [Visio 2003 SDK Documentation]

Includes a Path object for each Geometry section for a group or shape.

To retrieve a Paths collection expressed in the shape's parent coordinate system, use the Paths property of the shape. The coordinates are expressed in internal drawing units (inches).

Version added

5.0

Remarks

The default property of a Paths collection is Item.

To retrieve a Paths collection expressed in the shape's local coordinate system, use the PathsLocal property of the shape. The coordinates are expressed in internal drawing units (inches).

If a Shape object is a page, foreign object, or guide, its Paths and PathsLocal properties don't contain any items.

If a Shape object is a group, its Paths and PathsLocal properties are the union of the paths of its component shapes.

If a Shape object is a shape, its Paths and PathsLocal properties include one item for each Geometry section that defines a stroke of positive length.
