duplicateCurve([constructionHistory=boolean], [local=boolean], [name=string], [object=boolean], [range=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
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)
|
|
object(o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node (where applicable)
|
|
local(l)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Copy the transform of the surface and connect to the local
space version instead.
|
|
range(rn)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Force a curve range on complete input curve (where applicable)
|
|
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.
