Parallel Curve Along a Surface ?? SW09

Hello, I'm fairly new to SW so any help is appreciated.

I'm looking for a function, similar to one in CATIAV5, which allowsyou to select a curve on a non-planar surface (example: an edge)and create a parallel offset curve along the surface.

Any suggestions?

Additionally, I'm trying to project a curve along a direction, froma plane (sketch) and onto a non-planar surface, but the curveprojection tool doesn't seem to be very flexible with regard todirection of projection.

Thanks in advance.SolidworksAssemblies
