Command-line options
Copy	History enabled Specifies whether or not the objects are copied. A plus sign appears at the cursor when copy mode is on. The RememberCopyOptions command determines whether the selected option is used as the default.
FlipSurface	Changes the normal direction of the surface.
ReverseCurve	Changes the direction of the curve.

Command-line options

Copy

Specifies whether or not the objects are copied. A plus sign appears at the cursor when copy mode is on.

The RememberCopyOptions command determines whether the selected option is used as the default.

FlipSurface

Changes the normal direction of the surface.

ReverseCurve

Changes the direction of the curve.

If the curve already starts on the edge, it is copied to a new location on the edge with the same orientation as the original curve had to the surface.
If the curve does not start on the edge, it is rotated so the picked end of the curve is tangent to the surface and perpendicular to the edge.
If the curve tangent at the picked location is in the same direction as the active view's construction plane, the curve is not re-oriented to be tangent with the surface.
