Cross curves

In Solid Edge there is a feature called cross curves. If you are to draw a sketch on the front plane and then tangent to that draw a sketch on the top plane you can use the cross curve command to create the combination of the 2 to form a 3D curve. Is there something like this in OnShape?

    Currently, the only way to do this is to extrude a surface from your first curve, then use the second curve to split the surface. You can then use the edge of the surface as your composite curve.

    @ bryan_lagrange , By creating surface by the help of two curves we can get the edges as below,

    This is what I am trying to achieve. A 3D sketch derived from 2 2D sketches

    Onshape cannot create 3D sketches yet, but you can create your curve using the technique shown above.

    Thank you for your help. I look forward to when Onshape will be able to create 3D sketches.
