Displaying a logo on part
Displaying a logo on part
(OP)
I'm trying to display a product logo on a part. It is a sketch (originally brought from a DWG format file) that shows up on the 3D part but doesn't show up in the 2D layout. Does anyone have any tips? I know I could extrude it but I would like to avoid adding depth to it.

Do you have the sketch set to Show (from the View/Feature Manager) in the 2D drawing view?

That is of course if you won't be violating confidentiality.

Is there a way to turn off the points in the sketch so that I get a smooth logo?

Yes, you can turn off the display of endpoints, but I think you are not really going to have good results displaying a sketch, it tends to dominate. Just watch what happens when you zoom out. Sketches are also visible through a part, so if you rotate the face away from you it will get ugly.
I honestly believe if you convert your logo sketch into a feature of some sort you will have much better luck with it. Split face, shallow cuts or bosses of the logo are all viable options and should not be difficult to implement.

... but I agree with Updraft, showing sketches in drawing views is not the best method.
RE: Displaying a logo on part
Updraft made a good point about the sketch being visible through a part. I forgot to mention that this is a logo that will be silk screened on a Gorilla glass bezel, so I wanted the logo to be visible from both front and back.
Thank you!
