Hi @Oyvind Welcome to the Forum.  
Imported Images cannot be used to create a Body or Bodies, unless you Sketch over the Shapes needed.

Files that can be Imported, include DXF, can be seen by opening Import [_top left Menu with Arrow pointing downward_] under Files, Sketches or Images.

Happy S3Ding.
