I took another quick peak in the manual and found that you can create IsoParams but it doesn't refer to them as such instead it allows you to extract a curve(polyline) from a NURBS or Polygon object. This curve can then be used for profiles in sweeps, extrudes, etc. The ability to select several vertices on a polygon and then covert this into a curve is fantastic, since this curve can be used in so many different ways. You can also extract surfaces instead of curves from both NURBS and Polygons. I also mentioned a patch contour feature but explained it wrongly. It isn't a patch but instead a true hull surface with section, profile and contour lines. The skin feature is included but I overlooked it. It has a nice feature that the number of points in each cross section CAN be different. So you can skin from using any number of cross sections with any number of points. These are just a few precisions I could add. I just heard the integration of AMAPI and 3DS is going to be REAL tight, I can't say anymore, see the demo at SIGGRAPH.
