Importing ACAD to inventor parts question

I am working on trying to import some 2d autocad drawings for work and converting them into 3d parts. I found this video online that seems like a very good way of doing it (using inventor 2010 I think)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzGrcFhXmmU

 

When he gets to the point where he has the inventor projected views into the inventor part file (roughly 2 minute mark) he has an option that he selects which creates a cube to place the views on. He selects it off the ribbon under the 2d to 3d ribbon subgroup. Using inventor 2013, I can't seem to add the 2d to 3d option to my ribbon. Is there a better way to import old ACAD parts into 3d inventor parts in 2013? Is there an add-on or a package I need to import 2d ACAD into 3d inventor parts? Any help that anyone has or any tips for importing ACAD parts into 3d inventor parts would be appreciated.
