What toolpath to use?

[dpark1]

I have a part to machine using a bullnose or maybe a ball endmill, I am wanting to machine the numbers on top and have the dome surface as a check surface. This is version 9.1 any suggestions?

dpark,
you can do a 2d contour and surface project with the letter profile if you use this you don't check the dome surface because you control the projection by the dome.
