how do i engrave a logo?
(OP)
I have a plate that I’d like to engrave with a logo. I had a designer create a fancy logo but how do I go about importing the design and extrude-cut into the plate. What type of file do I need save the logo under?

You can import it onto a drawing as DXF, then copy it
onto your part.

A lot of artists are picky about their logos. Can you bring the artist in house and teach them some SolidWorks?

"Sketch plane" or sketch elements?
Did you import/paste the DXF into an open (feature creation) sketch or into a Sketch Picture?

Or use the Move command.

Once you get the position and the Sketch done. Before you cut or extrude it into the model. Offset a surface at a depth and extrude to the that surface and then hide the surface.

>>> Just an update I had the designer sent the logo as a .ai file
Luxology's modo software imports .ai files as bezier curves, as shown by the short QuickTime movie at http://www.luxology.com/training/video.aspx?id=96
My question for Mr. drivefast or anyone else is: when Solidworks is used to import .ai files, do the Illustrator curves come in as curves, or during the import process do they get frozen down to points?
>>> more points used in the bends
seems to imply a freezing into points during import
At http://w
in the second column "Enhanced Adobe Products Support" is mentioned.
Does anyone know if this means that the SW 2008 version might have the .ai bezier curve import capability (if that capability is not in 2007 and earlier versions)?
Thanks!
