I know it is very easy to create a data file filled with x,y,z coordinates and then import them into NX in order to create a spline, but is there anyway to do the reverse? Just to clarify...I have a spline that I have created using NX and now I would like to derive a certain number of coordinates from that spline so I could use them to graph that same spline in other programs. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me! ^___^

If you have a GRIP execute license you could try the attached GRIP program (Pts_to_txt-file.grx) which will take the points objects you select on the screen and write their X,Y,Z coordinates to a comma-delimited text file (read the comments in the .grs file for details about the program).

This seems like it is exactly what I need, but I'm just having some trouble figuring out how to use it. The .grx file...I did some research online and it says to open it using GetRight? Could you offer some more details regarding the operation of this program. Thank you!

It's a GRIP executable, proprietary to Siemens PLM Software. To execute the program, go to...
File -> Execute -> Grip...
...and select the .grx file and hit OK. If you have a license to execute GRIP programs the next thing you will see is the Class Selection dialog asking you to select your points.
