Is there a way to set the coordinates of curve points? That would be extremely helpful. Currently I am creating cubes and using curve snap, but I am sure there is a better method.

Hello 

Your question miss some important informations. What kind of curve are you doing? CV, EP, bezier? What degree?

by the way here's python snippet that would help:

cmds.selectPref(trackSelectionOrder=True)
indices = cmds.ls( fl=True, orderedSelection = True)
poses= []
for index in indices:
	poses.append(cmds.pointPosition(index, w=True))

cmds.curve(d=3, p=poses)

 

Select your cube's vertices (order matters) then launch this script and it will create a curve having its CVs snapped to the selected vertices.

 

second method (best one?):

Select the edges of the cube then Modify->Convert->polygon Edges to Curves
