: Illustrator/Photoshop: how to get path points' coordinates? Hi everybody In the picture there is a line with black points. While I know how to get the anchor points coordinates with the mouse

To help with your additional goal:

I am working on a project that has this requirement, so I put together a small Illustrator script that exports a JSON file including points in each layer. It's pretty basic right now, but you may find it useful: github.com/elcontraption/illustrator-point-coordinate-exporter
As of now it only works with polygons, and there is no differentiation between shapes in a layer. It will output an object named for each layer, containing an array of all points within that layer.

Select your Path
Object > Path > Outline Stroke


Now all the circles should be Path which you can easily select with the direct selection tool (the white Arrow) getting the exact coordinates for their center points.



Bonus Points: You can also doubling click on the line to go into isolation mode, making it easier to select a single circle. If you have one select you can cut it and if you do Edit > Insert at original position you can isolate it for good.
