How to put lines exactly onto a surface?

Hi sosodef, yeah you probably want to use Transform > Deform > Flow for a case like that. Flow is a new tool for v3, see here for an example video: http://www.screencast.com/t/3rzeZvqB9z

You can also use Construct > Curve > Project for a different method, that's more like beaming it on like a movie projector and Flow is more like applying a texture to the unwrapped surface. For something that's going onto a relatively tightly bent area for its size you probably want Flow since projection will have a lot of deformation in the areas where the surface is steep in relation to the projection plane.
