Thanks for the reply,
I had tried that before and it projects the curve on the face
as opposed to wrapping the curve around the face.

The difference between projection and wrapping is slight but
important to what I am trying to do.

I may be mistaken but it seems to me that the projection command does
only projection, unless you know how to make it wrap around a
cylinder.

Best,
Matthew
