Or any arbitrary Polyline on the surface of a cylinder? Simple projection didn't work because I want to 'attach' a circle ON the surface. Say differently, how do I 'BEND' a flat circle in a 3-D space along the surface of a cylinder?

I saw a guy who was wondering how to put 2-D Australia map on the globe in other forum. I guess my question is a little bit simpler than that because we need to bend in only single-dimension. I couldn't find any menu or command for this and now I am considering to write a VBA program which can transform the curve on cylinder mathematically but this will be a tedious work. Is there anybody to help me with possibly simpler way to do this?

FIY I got ONLY a 'regular' AutoCAD 2005.
