A detum curve is made. Can I generate the co-ordinates of intermediate points from any standard reference like co-ordinate system or intersection of 3 planes. Best output will be any .pts file where it will show the co-ordinates.



We can generate the same cuve in other software where inputs are locations of intermediate points.
 
I believe you can generate the coordinates of datum points directly in Pro/E. You have to make datum points along the datum curve to get this.
 
Look up 'data point array options' in help, it describes how to print it out.

Not sure if I understand the question, not sure what you mean by intermediate points.



If you want x, y, z points of the curve then save it out as an iges file.



Then create a detum-curve from-file. You can then redefine this feature and select the edit file option and Pro/E will generate an IBL file with your x, y, z points.
 
Sorry, the from-file should be the iges just created..
