Convert cure or segment to many Nodes

I want to convert a curve or a segment to many Nodes . What am I doing ?

I'm not sure what exactly you need. But if you need instead of one smooth Bezier segment a set of short line segments with quite a few nodes, you can easily do that in VBA.

You can get a point position along a segment at any given offset easily without even modifying the original curve. Here is a small macro which creates 10 small circles along each segment of the selected curve:

Sub MarkCurve()
    Dim seg As Segment
    Dim n As Long
    Dim t As Double
    Dim x As Double, y As Double
    For Each seg In ActiveShape.Curve.Segments
        For n = 0 To 10
            t = n / 10
            seg.GetPointPositionAt x, y, t
            ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2 x, y, 0.05
        Next n
    Next seg
End Sub

You can also work with subpaths as a whole (not segment by segment basis).

Sub MarkCurve()
    Dim sp As SubPath
    Dim n As Long
    Dim t As Double
    Dim x As Double, y As Double
    For Each sp In ActiveShape.Curve.SubPaths
        For n = 0 To 40
            t = n / 40
            sp.GetPointPositionAt x, y, t
            ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2 x, y, 0.05
        Next n
    Next sp
End Sub
