Separates shapes that have been combined, or are from a link group

Syntax:

Remarks:

The Separate method separates effect shapes (that is, combined shapes or linked groups, such as blend groups or drop shadows). This method is provided for compatibility reasons. The suggested method is Effect.Separate.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a blend between two ellipses and separates it.

Sub Test()
Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape
Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(0, 10, 2, 8)
Set s2 = s1.Duplicate(5, -7)
s1.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 100, 0
s2.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 100, 0
s2.CreateBlend(s1).Blend.BlendGroup.CreateSelection
s2.Selected = True
s1.Selected = True
ActiveSelection.Separate 
End Sub

The following VBA example performs the same procedure as the previous example but using the Effect.Separate method. Sub Test() Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(0, 10, 2, 8) Set s2 = s1.Duplicate(5, -7) s1.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 100, 0 s2.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 100, 0 s2.CreateBlend(s1).Separate End Sub
