How would you do complex images?
Here's the method I've used in the past:
You can import vector format files using the File System button in the Get Data tab in sketch mode. It might be a bit difficult to get it to precisely the right size you want (Creo does scaling really weird), but it should be possible. It will probably import with an extra set of lines, so you might have to delete an entire "surface layer" of lines on the image to make it extrudable.
To be honest, in my opinion it's often more pain that it's worth. I haven't found a "nice" way of doing it in the five years I've been working with PTC software. I'd love to see an alternate way of doing this.
