You could try AIPathfinderSuite::FlattenArt() function.

I'm about 99.9% sure AIExpandSuite::Expand() is the method you want. We use it a fair bit in our stuff and it seems to work. What kind of results are you seeing?

I've already tried this method, without success.

After creating compound shapes with pathfinder plugin (user action), i want

to expand this shapes to have only a single path. (with stroke and fill).

result  = sAIExpand->Expand(art, kExpandPluginArt,NULL);
aisdk::check_ai_error(result);

as a result, i've got a group with fill and stroke, which has a child (path), with no stroke and fill.

Use i this method in a wrong way?

or should i write a methode to convert this artwork tree to a single path.

I'm pretty sure, this could be completed using this method,

and i do not want to reinvent the wheel.......

thx.

Thomas.
