Mapping a Curve onto a Surface

You can map a curve onto a surface using a transfer feature.

Important: When mapping other geometry than concept surfaces, you must first create a transfer feature from the points associated with the geometry to be mapped. The Transfer Feature command is available in the points context toolbar.

Before you begin: Open a 3D Shape containing a curve and a surface.
