Can you curve /modify /warp a completed drawing?

I have a profile that fits perfectly on a straight corrugated panel but one panel has a slight bow to I wanted to see if I can either curve/bend/warp whatever the term maybe by raising the centre by eg 10mm. I suppose my question is can this be done once the drawing has been completed. Attached an image of my part.

    You can extrude it as a surface and then use move point to curve/bend/warp.
    But it kind of depends on the shape you need. Do you have a picture or model of where the profile needs to fit?

    I would like the profile to arc up to the dashed line which would be approximately 10mm.

    If it was just a rectangular piece if might have been doable with the dmdeformcurve tool. But thant wont work on the serrated edges on top. Sorry don't have clue besides drawing it curved from the beginning.

    A can suggest a way - but it is in some steps:
    1. Projecton of the (flat) drawing (linework) onto a cone
    2. Unfold the cone's surface (considering the holes)
    In case of interest you can contact me via www,black.cad.de
