Effect.CloneParent property
Gets the parent effect for the cloned effects collection
Syntax:
Property Get CloneParent() As Effect
Remarks:
The CloneParent property points to the effect object from which the current effect is cloned. Any changes to the clone parent effect are automatically reflected in the cloned effect (or effects). In order for this property to be effective, there must be a clone-master relationship between objects in the active document and the cloned object must be the active object.
Examples:
Here is a code example:
Sub Test()
ActiveShape.Effects(1).CloneParent.Blend.Steps = 5 
End Sub
