thanx,
the only problem that it only snap the points , means if i draw the nurbs curve on a sphere, then the points of the curve is on the sphere's surface , but the curve itself cannot really stick on the surface.
or did i miss something?
Yes it will only snap the points, if you need to curve to fit exactly on the surface then you'll need to use more samples (points) to create the curve.

that's because of the nature of the primitives and the curve you're drawing…
in short.. nurbs curves are based on point which doenst live on the curve itself.. so you might want to draw a polygon curve which instead have points on the curve…. over the nurbs surface.
hope this helps.
