Creating a curve through multiple points

[jyochum67]

What's the best way to create a curve along a spline through points without having to manually select each point.  Is there a way to enter a range (Ex. Point 1 - Point 100) where it will select the points that way?

Only if all of the points are in one point feature.  Select the point feature then curve.

Yes. The trick to automation is to read the points in from file (.pts or .ibl) and create the curve using the imported points.

See this article to find the command sequence.

When I started experimenting with .ibl files I found the format that worked in the following discussion:

It's a bit weird in that you specify things like "begin section" and "begin curve", but no corresponding "end section" or "end curve". Or at least I find it odd.
