Create a sketch on the plane you want the logo on. Import logo jpeg (tools-Sketch tools-sketch picture) -- scale logo to size required and position in place -- you will have to retrace logo using jpeg as guide -- then cut extrude the sketch from model. check out the colt logo https://grabcad.com/library/colt-m1911-presentation-box-1/files
OK Don't use autotrace create the shapes using splines you will get a nice smooth logo-- the fewr the spline pionts the smoother the curve
Thank you for the help. i did it succesfully by using Autotrace . but the problem now is that the tracing is not that smooth and the logo sketch have too much corners(edges) in it.
How to smooth the tracing.
This is my logo..
