      Is there a way to extract the x,y or x,y,z points off a line, curve, or bezier curve without manually trying to "digitize" points along the line?

        For one coordinate
        Click on the curve line with the Icon Text and move it πŸ˜‰

            Thank you Pilou and TIG,

            What you both showed will do what I need.  I did not know if there was a Ruby or function that will accomplish this.  One other question if you don't mind.  In the sample that TIG showed, some of the coordinates are preceded by a ~ sign.  What does this mean?

              ~ = Something like an approximation πŸ˜‰

                I have my Model Info > Units set to return a whole of mm, so if the dimension is not a whole number SUp rounds it to the nearest whole number, but it adds a ~ to warn you that the figure is 'approximate'***...
                1.0mm ==> 1
                1.2mm ==> ~1
                1.9mm ==> ~2
                1234.0mm ==> 1234
                1234.5mm ==> ~1235
                ***I find that I don't need to report dimensions etc to anything smaller than a 'mm'... You can if you like... πŸ€“
