duplicateCurve [-constructionHistory boolean] [-local boolean] [-name string] [-object boolean] [-range boolean]
duplicateCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The duplicateCurve command takes a curve on a surface and
and returns the 3D curve. The curve on a surface could be
isoparam component, trimmed edge or curve on surface object.

Properties |
|
| Common flags |
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).
|
|
-local(-l)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Copy the transform of the surface and connect to the local
space version instead.
|
|
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
-object(-o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node (where applicable).
|
|
-range(-rn)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Force a curve range on complete input curve (where applicable).
