EffectEnvelope.KeepLines property

Gets or sets whether or not to keep the lines for the envelope

Syntax:

Property Get KeepLines() As Boolean
Property Let KeepLines(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The KeepLines property returns or specifies whether straight line segments are warped in the envelope. If the KeepLines property is True, the envelope effect keeps its lines straight.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a text object, applies an envelope effect to it, and then specifies that straight lines are to be preserved in the distorted text object.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape, eff As Effect
  Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(2.75, 5, "Text")
  With s.Text.FontProperties
    .Name = "Arial Black"
    .Size = 150
  End With
  Set eff = s.CreateEnvelope(3)
  eff.Envelope.KeepLines = True
End Sub
