The Index property returns the index number of a node within a subpath. The AbsoluteIndex property returns the index number of a node within a curve (including all subpaths for the curve). The Index and AbsoluteIndex properties return the same value if the node belongs to the first subpath of the curve.
Examples:
The following VBA example loops through each node of each subpath and prints the Index and AbsoluteIndex properties in the Intermediate window of the Macro Editor.
Sub Test()
Dim s As Shape
Dim sp As SubPath
Dim n As Node
Set s = ActiveShape
If s.Type = cdrCurveShape Then
For Each sp In s.Curve.Subpaths
For Each n In sp.Nodes
Debug.Print n.Index, n.AbsoluteIndex
Next n
Next sp
End If
End Sub
