I want to emboss/deboss a logo onto a curved (revolved), sort of spherical surface. An extrude ends up really warping the extremities of the logo because the size size/diameter of the revolve is small compared to the size of the logo . The decal won't help me as I will be using the cad to create either an SLA model or a CNC'd model, so the geometry has to be in the CAD file. Any ideas? Any other options?

Interesting – thanks for that.
Rick, can you model a book (like a manual) for me with a coil binding spring as a single part.

Thanks

For example I was modeling a .07 mm hole (yes I know that's small) and Solidworks would not be able to build the wrap feature, but if I increased the hole size to .078 it would work. Also I was trying to wrap a sketch with a .02 mm hole and the wrap would just ignore the hole and make it solid. This time if I shrank the hole to .0148 mm (nothing larger) then the wrap would build with the hole. <br><br>thanks Any suggestions on why when I'm using the wrap feature certain radiuses are not able to be wrapped?

The sketched letters jump around on me and I am lost at getting the letters on a suitable rad.
I suppose there is a first time for everything?
