Emboss not covering entire curved surface

Trying to deboss using the EMBOSS command but the feature is not extending to the entire surface. 

The sketch length is 59.245 mm and the hollow cylindrical surface to be embossed is 59.345 mm.

Has anyone experienced this behavior?  How can I get the EMBOSS to extend to the entire surface or 59.245 mm length of the sketch?  Thanks!Emboss with Deboss option not workingEmboss with Deboss option not working

The Profile sketch cannot, even by a small bit, intersect itself as is embosses the cylinder.  I have executed one with a 0.0006" gap and it is attached.  Please share your model so the forum users can take a look at it for you to see if the problem can be determined.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Thanks for the response.  The sketch file does not exceed the size of the surface.   The sketch length is 59.245 mm and the hollow cylindrical surface to be embossed is 59.345 mm.  The deboss occurs but does not extend to cover nearly the entire surface.  I have attached the Fusion 360 file.  Please let me know if you determine what the issue might be.

Thanks all!

I am not sure where you picked up the distance around your model but it is not 59.345" but 68.1411".  Change the length of the Emboss sketch with a straight section and it goes all the way around now. It is almost impossible to get it to join without an error so I took off the last little bit with a .001" Extrusion.  Model is attached.

You are RIGHT.  I miscalculated the outer circumference.  Works great now!  Thank you John!
