I'm trying to put together some lines, but I want to be able to get the coordinate information of either the selected point on a curve or a specified point (like curve1.ep[1]). What command would I use to achieve this?

use:

xform -q -t -ws curve1.ep[1];

Returns a float array of the worldspace x, y, z values of the ep.

Hi,

you can also use the cmd pointPosition... which by default gives the ws position...

pointPosition curve1.ep[1]; or
pointPosition -w curve1.ep[1]; //gives world space coordinates...
pointPosition -l curve1.ep[1]; //gives local space coordinates
regards
