I have imported artwork from AutoCAD as a feature in my model. I have projected the feature onto a revolved cone shape. I now need to show this is a raised feature on the surface. Any suggestions on the best method to accomplish this?

Use the "Offset" tool. Note that in the image below, the sketch "LOGO" is used as the reference. In your case, you'll use the sketch that you have projected onto the surface.

Also, I show here offset with draft in the direction of the sketch. There are many other variations available for you - experiment with type of offsets and their options.
