Hi,

How can I initiate the freeformbuilder in a VBA macro, so that the user can then trace a freeform curve?

I have tried using ActiveSheet.Shapes.BuildFreeform, however this doesn't seem to do anything, and I need the user to build the shape rather than specify all of the nodes within the macro.

Is there any simple command I can use to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Thanks, but as I said, I want the user to trace the curve live and get the coordinates from the user, rather than specify them within the macro. So I just need to initiate the curve tracing process in the macro, as if the user had clicked on Insert > Shapes > Curve.

Any more ideas, please?
