Creating an image / Uploading an Image
You will first want to open Adobe Illustrator and click file . . new. 

From there you will decide on a title for the image as well as how big the paper size is.  An art board will be created showing the cutting area. 

Once you have the art board, you just have to draw out the image to be cut.

If you have already created an image on Auto Cad or any other design software, you will want to click on file . . open.

A window will pop up asking if you want to scale the image.  You will want to know the dimensions of  the paper and what the units represent on your CAD drawing.  Scale your image accordingly.
