You can use a Chopper, set to 1, to convert lines and polygons back to
single points. If the original features have some sort of unique
identifying attribute, that will be retained. If not, you can put the
original features through a Counter prior to the Chopper.
This will result in the original coordinates of the lines/polygons to be
written out as points. If you need more points, you can use a Densifier
before the Chopper, to interpolate points.
Hope this helps.
