Inserts a new segment at the end of the freeform that's being created, and adds the nodes that define the segment. You can use this method as many times as you want to add nodes to the freeform you're creating. When you finish adding nodes, use the ConvertToShape method to create the freeform you've just defined. To add nodes to a freeform after it's been created, use the Insert method of the ShapeNodes collection.

Syntax

expression**.AddNodes(SegmentType**, EditingType, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a FreeformBuilder object.

SegmentType   Required Long. The type of segment to be added. Can be either of the following MsoSegmentType constants: msoSegmentCurve or msoSegmentLine.

EditingType   Required Long. The editing property of the vertex. Can be either of the following MsoEditingType constants: msoEditingAuto or msoEditingCorner (cannot be msoEditingSmooth or msoEditingSymmetric). If SegmentType is msoSegmentLine, EditingType must be msoEditingAuto.

X1   Required Single. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment.

Y1   Required Single. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the vertical distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the vertical distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment.

X2   Optional Single. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.

Y2   Optional Single. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the vertical distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.

X3   Optional Single. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.

Y3   Optional Single. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the vertical distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
