In this paper, pedal-like curves are defined resulting from the orthogonal projection of a fixed point on the alternative frame vectors of a given regular curve. For each pedal curve, the Frenet vectors, the curvature and the torsion functions are found to provide the common relations among the main curve and its pedal curves. Then, Smarandache curves are defined by using the alternative frame vectors of each pedal curve as position vectors. The relations of the Frenet apparatus are also established for the pedal curves and their corresponding Smarandache curves. Finally, the expressions of the alternative frame apparatus of each Smarandache curves are given in terms of the alternative frame elements of the pedal curves. Thus, a set of new symmetric curves are introduced that contribute to the vast curve family.
