I posted on 'Importing AutoCAD images into Sketcher' before.
First, you need to have a vector image not bitmap.
1. Convert your silkscreen artwork into 'IGES' file. (I'm not sure if AutoCAD has IGES export.) Coordinate 0,0 will be your anchoring point.
2. In ProE part, create a coordnate system with X & Y axis oriented and located at anchoring point of IGES file.
3. Insert > Data from file > Pick the '.igs' file and select the Coordnate system you just created.
An additional note.
Texts: IGES will not carry the texts over, so you have to somehow convert the texts into lines before you convert the file into IGES.
