Solidworks: Curved Groove on Cylindrical Surface

3D Design
1

Hello


Starting with Solidworks, I am looking to make a through  groove following a curve on the surface of a tube.
From what I was able to do, the groove "rotates" along the curve; it does not remain normal on the surface of the tube.

(see PC)

How do you solve this problem? I went through a 3D sketch, but maybe that's not the right way...

Thank you in advance for your answers

Hello 

Attached is the attachment with the groove I hope it will be as you requested. I make it with a "propeller" function
