Will, If you go into the SHAPE MANAGER,you can design any profile tool you want. It takes a little practice but you will be surprised at all the cool stuff you can do with shape manager. After you design your tooling the profile modeler should be able to cut out the molding on the router without the need for custom tooling.

Good luck,

Will,
You first have to create a tool from your jpg. Just like creating a custom molder knife and then you can create any custom molding you want. Straight or curved. I sketch out a profile of a molding I am copying and get the measurements and radii and then use these to create a tool.
