The ConvertToObject method converts an object's outline into a separate shape and returns the new Shape object. If the Outline.BehindFill option is enabled, the outline object appears behind the original object.
Examples:
The following VBA example creates an ellipse with a thick outline. A shape is created from the outline and is offset by 1" both horizontally and vertically.
Sub Test()
Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape
Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(3, 3, 2)
s1.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 0, 0
s1.Outline.Width = 0.2
s1.Outline.Color.RGBAssign 0, 0, 255
Set s2 = s1.Outline.ConvertToObject
s2.Move 1, 1
End Sub
