There is already an answer to this specific question, but it does not solve my problem. What I want to do is take a shape, tie it to the curve, and then sweep it around the edge of the letter. I keep getting errors about non-manifold curves, or the fact that the solid that would be created does not intersect the letter. I have tried several approaches to this problem without success.
In the document tab "PGSM Stamp, I'm trying to make a stamp to "sign" wet ceramic art for a pair of friends, PG and SM. Look at the sketch labeled "G cut". I want to coincident-contrain the center point of that triangle to the edge of the letter.

Perhaps an easier and cleaner approach to the stamp elements would be to use an extrude with draft. In the document below I edited the sketch (renamed) G using the offset tool on the perimeter of 'G' to create a face to use to achieve the result I believe you are seeking, using that face in the G extrude. I created 3 variables (extrude_height, sketch_offset; and draft) to experiment with. See if the extrude approach is something that can work throughout the rest of the elements in your design.
P,S. For the coincident constraint you referred to, take a look at the Pierce constraint.
