Not that I'm aware of.

You can import them - Insert\Curve\Curve Through XYZ points
There is a Save as but you can only save it as *.sldcrv

How did you get the points in your SW file to begin with?

I actually have to create the points myself. I put them on surfaces I want the cmm to check. I found the commands I need to including in the api, selectdata x, selectdatay, and selectdata z. I just don't know how to write code. Is there somewhere i can get a program body and modify it?

Thanks for your responses
 
We have some sofware called Hollis, I believe. It does a great job of sucking in SW files and doing various types of CMM magic on them.
