Need a hint ...
(OP)
Matt Lombards Bible is very good - I am just following the tutorials and exaples from the CD.
On page 290-291 there is a 3D Curve Driven Pattern (figure 8.15). The model is on the CD and I can not figure out how the "spiral" curve was created on the body. I presume the Surface-Sweep1 was somehow projected on the body giving the 3DSketch.
But how was that done ??

If the body you are referring to is relatively a cyllinder, the curve could just be created as a helix starting at the base of the cyllinder. Diamter of the helix can be set to be equal to the cyllinder so that it lies on the outer surface.
Then use that helix to drive the 'Curve Driven Pattern'.
