Problem when embossing on to curve surface from an SVG profile

Hello, I have noticed some strange behaviour when I try to emboss an SVG profile onto a curved surface.

If you look at the screen clip, the sides of the 'H' have some strange curves on the emboss feature, but the sketch has straight edges.

I have also embossed some plain text onto the same surface, and no problems are seen.

Please attach your model giving you the issues.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it. If needed, ZIP a F3Z file.

Can you share your Fusion file and the .svg?

I think it may be the geometry of the .svg isnt ideal.

 

Here is your H from the .svg

and here is one from a Project Salvadore Autotrace of a screen capture of the .svg opened in CorelDraw...Not great but better:

I have created another test flat, curve and semi sphere, and just embossed simple text 'Arial' and a slightly more complex font 'Wingfoot',  it seems to handle the simple text ok, but struggles with the wingfoot on a compound surface

 

So I guess it's a bug in Fusion. I am sure the calculations are massively complex, but need tweaking

Try Explode Text (you will have to resolve the Emboss after changing).

I also noticed that your original design could be significantly simplified.

It probably would have been best to start a new discussion thread.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?
