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.
