Default New User - File Import Question

Hi!

I just purchased the software yesterday. For the project that I'm working on, I'm trying to create a "sewing" pattern (3D object) whose design is based on an image file (.jpg, .bmp). The overall concept is that I want to import the image file into the software and use it as a pattern to construct the 3D model.

I tried utilizing a raster to vector conversion software. It yielded a vectorized .dxf file which seemed to import into the AC3D software, but I could not see the image. What am I doing wrong?

Also.... any suggestions on how to proceed with this project would be greatly appreciated. I need to come up to speed on the software as quickly as possible and don't want to waste any time. (This is for a friend's 50th b-day which is rapidly approaching....and after I create the pattern, I'd still have to sew it.)

Thanks for any guidance.
