    I have a radial/ conical surface on which I need to cut some text. This text
    needs to be "wrapped" around this radial surface. If anyone could give me
    advice/suggestions as to the best way to accomplish this, I would greatly
    appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

    Thank you - I figured out how to use the wrap feature - simple enough
    once I realized it was even there.
    Only problem was - because I was projecting onto a conical rather than
    cylindrical surface, and my logo (supplied by an outside source) was drawn
    on straight lines, my projection ended up having a smiling curvature to it.
    Is there a way to avoid this, or does it come down to playing with my sketch
    (pain in the ass work!) to compensate.

    Thanks again - Sean
