importing and extruding a logo

[Bart Young]

Is there a way to import a jpeg, apply it as a decal, then add depth to portions of it maybe by extruding it?  I'm trying to add a logo for a 3d print.

Not with a JPG file.  You'll want a vector art file for that.  AI, Adobe Illustrator is the most common format.  If you can get an Illustrator file saved back to Illustrator v8, then you can open it in FormZ and scale, difference, extrude, etc the shapes to your hearts content without losing the quality of the lines.

Do you have access to the original vector art file?

Thanks.  I think I just found a DXF file of it I can apply and extrude.
