Description
In Creo 12.0, you have the new ability to switch an already defined Free Curve or 
Planar Curve to a 
Curve on Surface (COS). If you want to change the curve type after you begin defining the curve, you can do so by simply clicking another curve type in the same user interface, and selecting a reference if required. Additionally, you can go back at any time and switch the curve type.
Free Curve or Planar Curve to a Curve on Surface (COS). If you want to change the curve type after you begin defining the curve, you can do so by simply clicking another curve type in the same user interface, and selecting a reference if required. Additionally, you can go back at any time and switch the curve type.Previously, once you began defining the curve as Free or Planar, the Curve on Surface curve type became unavailable. You could change a COS to a Free curve, but you could not change a Free curve to a COS.
