No time to open it - does the curve have a csys? I recall that that's the anchor to stick on the surface.

After that, select Edit/Wrap; I think it's easy from there.

Yes. The curve has csys.

Joseph,

As David and Steven mentioned, you need to create a datum csys in sketcher.

Redefine the sketch 2 in attached part and notice that there is a csys.

Check attached file.

Thank you Mahesh! So, you need to establish the csys in the sketch before you draw the sketch. Got it! Thank you for your help everyone!
