importing, placing, and scaling logos

[andyboy]

On almost every product I design my clients ask for embossed logos. Importing the logos is easy. By orienting them with a coordinate system placing them where I want them is easy. The problem is that they are always the wrong size. What I do now is export my model to Rhino. Import the logo. Scale and orient it correctly, then export the logo to iges and import it into ProE. It is a hassle, but usually not too bad. On my last project, however, my client wanted to brand 8 different parts. Each one with a different size logo. With him looking over my shoulder sand saying make it bigger, make it smaller, it took hours to get them right.


Is there a better workflow? Can you scale imported geometry?

import in the sketch to some empty part. Go into sketcher
and copy the edges of the logo and save this as a sketch
file (.sec). Then in your real part import the .sec file
and you will be able to easily scale that sketch as you
wish with the pasting options.
