  Engraving

For machining complex line work at a single depth such as a logo.  See Level 2 Modelling > Geometry from 2D graphics for some info on exploiting logo images.

Define the engraving tool as 0.5mm diameter and machine to 0.2mm depth.  The shank of the tool is 5.0mm - watch for collisions with side walls in cavities - see below

In your Reference Model part file generate a Groove [cosmetic] feature

• Insert > Cosmetic > Groove. [This function is in the old 'Menu Manager' style]
   
• Choose the surface you want to project the feature onto
• Choose the sketch plane
• Choose a plane to orient the sketchplane
• Sketch the curves

Pick the Engraving from the top toolbar

• Tool
• Parameters > set the usual parameters, do not set NUMBER_CUTS
• Parameters > make sure you set a GROOVE DEPTH
• Groove feature
