    Projecting lettering to a surface

    I have a dome shaped surface that a want to project lettering to. I post the toolpath as an .nci file and project it to the surface. The lettering is the shape of the surface but is above it. We were very tempted to start playing with our z values but thought better about it. We are using v9. Please help!
