Sketcher import question

[wtb999]

I am trying to import a logo into the sketcher. The letters
in the logo show up as splines when imported. The problem
is that auto-constraining of the spline points ends up
changing the logo letters, especially if I import and then
move the logo around. Is there a way to maintain the
initial shapes of the logo letters?

I know that issue quite well - I`ve struggled with that recently.

Solution can be following:

1) you can turn off auto constraining directly from sketcher mode(do it before import), and Pro/E should stop doing all that described stuff, or...

2) you can save your logo as dxf, and import it not in the sketcher, but directly to the model tree and then make it as sketcher by Use Edge tool.

I use this approach because as advantage it gives me 100% steady and solid opportunity to move logo around the model simply by edit offset of appropriate coordinate system.

Every time I tried to do that in the sketcher funny things you described drove me crazy)

Thanks Jacek!

The one problem with importing a logo into Creo 2.0 is scaling it. If you import into a part and try to scale the part using "Operations > Scale
Model", it will not work. All scaling has to be done in a drawing.
This is another glitch that wasn't a problem previously
