I hope I'm asking this properly. Can I use the "Engrave" tool on top of a 3-D model?
As an example: If I made a half globe, could I put the latitude and longitude lines on it with the engraving tool??

Re: Engrave on 3-D work
Use "Project toolpath onto 3D model." The more pointed the bit, the less distortion you'll get near the lower region of the sphere.
