How to "project" a curve into a new style feature?

So, I have a bit of a headache of a part that I have been trying to make. It involves a rather warped piece of metal that was stamped, and I am recreating it using style features. I do not want to project this curve onto a flat plane. I simply want to copy and paste it in 3-D space as it was.

If I am creating a new style, how do I import a curve into it? Is it at all possible? I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I had imagined that this would be a rather obvious feature to have if you want to eventually connect two different style features.
 
The answer is:

Curve -> Curve from Datum, while in the style creation mode.

Geeze, guys.
 
you can do it inside of Style or outside using the project icon. They screwed up in the user interface a bit and chose a different term (comes from CDRS what Style or ISDX grew out of) 'Drop' instead of 'project'.

Drop works just like a project
 
He said he doesn't want to project it.
Read the post Bart.
 
The question is a bit confusing. Why import the curve? Is it from an imported feature or something like that?
