By 'parametric' I assume that you mean Associative, correct?

If so, have you looked at...

Insert -> Curves from Bodies -> Extract -> Isocline Curves

...setting the 'Vector' to 'View Direction' and the 'Angle' to ZERO degrees (be sure that you are not in a Perspective View)?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 
In drafting expand the view first.

ok I thought of parametric,
Insert -> Curves from Bodies -> Extract -> ....
those curves are still without any associativity.
I thought there is something like plane from view,
or a workaround to get an associative result.
