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.
