I am having trouble determining what the end position of an arc is. I would
like to determine the coordinates of the end point or start point and then
place a textbox or other shape at those same coordinates. Of the attributes
of an arc - which describes the top and left of the end point? The top and
left that I can obtain seem to provide the position of the top left corner
of the bounding box/border of the shape - which may be far from the end
point of the actual arc.

Thanks for any assistance with this question.

======================

The Arc is described by its Nodes collection, air code -

Dim nds As ShapeNodes
Dim ndStart as ShapeNode, ndEnd as ShapeNode

Set nds = myArcShape.Nodes
Set ndStart = nds(1)
Set ndEnd = nds(nds.count)

x1 = ndStart.Points(1,1) : y1 = ndStart.Points(1,2)
x2 = ndStart.Points(1,1) : y2 = ndEnd.Points(1,2)
