You'll need Aspire.

Looking at the DXF you posted you could do the grapes using the 90° dome from the Clipart in VCP and then use the "Clipping" option under Modeling to create the leaves and stem.

If you'd like to post the DXF (and it's not copyrighted) I or someone else can give you some starting pointers.

Highpockets, thank you for your reply
This is not my file, it belongs to one of my customers, it is not my call to post it, looks like if I get the job, I will consider upgrade to Aspire, it is $1300 now.
Thank you for your offer to help.

You won't regret the upgrade.
