It would probably be best to share your Fusion design. Export and save as a f3d.

 

One guess is are you projecting from the source sketch (The one with the svg) into another sketch? You can not project into the same sketch.

 

Also have you tried the emboss tool rather than projecting sketches?

In your supplied model, you had the graphic vertical on the cylinder, it this what you desire or was it you could not rotate it?

Sorry but your SVG is not a good enough quality for CAD. It has lots of breaks and overlapping curves. 

 

If I delete some of the bad curves I can get it to work. It's up to you to simplify your logo to something with cleaner profiles. Maybe trace over a picture in Fusion. I've attached the design, TIP next time export the design as a f3d.

Attached you will find your SVG file wrapped around your cylinder.  Your SVG file is bad so I repaired it, the repaired one is attached.  You are scaling this SVG down so much that the entities will intersect if you try and Emboss the design on the face.  Mine is Extruded directly to unfolded sheet metal which avoids this problem.  It is a lot of work due to the poor quality of your supplied file but here it is.

My apologies sir 

I was in class teaching and just got out 

yes it was a help but I have to figure out how to put the part that had to be deleted in so I can engrave the file.      So I like the saying garbage in garbage out.      Thanks for the help
