3D curve projection on a plane in NX 1

Hello,
I would need to project some curves, drawn on a three-dimensional solid, on a plane/sheet keeping the curves lengths.
I know that with "project curve" it is possible to do the reverse path, that is, project a sketch on a solid while keeping the lengths in both x and y.
I use NX 1946 software.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks

are you working with a sticker or decal placed on a surface ?

The Wrap and Unwarp, as well as the Flattening functions, can map 3D curves from a face/surface onto a plane. They can also do the reverse, map 2D curves back onto a face/surface.

Here are a couple of albeit old videos, but they should help point the way:
