Path deform spline to path spline

Hello,

 

Does enyone know is it possible to deform one spline to another spline-path (pictures below)? Initial curve is white, while path curves are red and blue.

All curves are imported as .dwg files, because they must be created using Inventor and ACAD.

I have done preprocessing described in:

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Modeling/Best-way-to​-create-wire/td-p/5109010

1. All pivots are positioned in the same point in a same way (picture 1)

2. Reset Xform is done on all curves

3. Collapse all (I tried with Collapse to, also)

 

So now I have editable splines, buth both path deform commands (object space and WSM) produce same, but poor result. White spline doesn't fit to blue one perfectly (picture 2). It looks like they have segments which make problems. Dividing splines' segments didn't give better result (picture 3).

 

On picture 2 is my first iteration, where blue line is path. I also have to do this "bending" of white curve using red one as a path, so I need two deformations of white curve.

 

Any ideas, solutions? Thanks
