You probably have moved on long ago on this question but in case anyone else would like an answer.

This is a CAM program not a design program, your model needs to be imported after been created by a CAD program it can be in any number of formats depending on your Delcam license. If importing from Powershape more than likely a DGK file, standard license should also support IGS files beyond that its hit or miss,

If your are practicing look for an example there should be a directory in your Delcam folder called "examples" it comes with an extensive set of examples when you do the full install.

If you have a model imported you can do some basic manipulations by transforming surfaces (still easier to draw in a cad program.
