Step #1: Create a logo part from a DXF file…
In your “logo part” select INSERT > SHARED DATA > FROM FILE. Next select the logo and press ok, this will bring you to the Choose Solid Options and Placement menu. Import the logo as a surface and select ok. Your logo will now be shown in the part as a surface assembled to the default coordinate system….

This becomes your scale function to make the logo 20mm wide
Once you know the scale function, select EDIT > SCALE MODEL. Enter the number up to 8 decimal places for accuracy and select ok…

Step #4: Verify the logo width…
In the part model tree edit the reference sketch and verify the width is 20mm…

Step #5: Use the surfaces to create your logo…
