Hello guys !
i'm trying to snap "curve1" to a specific cv of "curve2" (the first cv of "curve2")...the problem is that i don't know how to get the world coordinates of a cv. Can anybody please help ?

EDIT:

did some digging and eventually figured it out :

//getting the x value of the first cv of a curve :
$xPos=getAttr (exampleCurveShape.controlPoints[0].xValue);

the cv attribute only holds the LOCAL coordinate. If you want to get the world (or local) position of ANY point type in Maya (vertex, cv, locator, handle, point, particle, etc...) use the pointPosition command (believe it or not! ;) )
