    Open up your tool palette (Ctrl 3). Then right click on the spine and choose either design or all (it may already open that way). You'll see a tab that says doors. Click on that. There's some doors shown there. At the bottom, there should be thing that says "more door tools". Click on that to open the design tool catalog. There should be 5 pages of doors there.

    Or if you want to make one and already have a regular door, just right click on it and choose "edit door style". When the box opens, go to the design rules tab, On the left, there it says "shape", and under that you can choose either predefined or profile. Select predefined, then on the dropdown next to it, choose arch.

    Or, you can draw a shape with a closed polyline. Then right click on it and choose "convert to profile". Once you name and save it, go to the same area above, but instead of predefined, use profile and choose the profile you want.

    There's also some content on the autodesk web site.

    Hope that helps. If you need more help, let me know.
