 If FreeCAD signals that it cannot find the GraphViz package when you are sure it is installed, you can correct this by pointing it to /usr/bin/ with the appropriate dialog box.
+===== SVG to 3D model =====
+Make a plain svg and import as geometry in FreeCAD
+use draft workbench and up and down arrows to join each paths into faces
+use part workbench and extrude each face. Tick "Make solid"
+use cut operations to cut out inner parts in o, B, e, A, etc...
+Use part menu to make a compound out of it
+use draft workbench to move around the text and reset origin
+use translation to move the text into position
+use cut in part workbench to cut out the text out of another part or join to fuse with another part
