Place Image by World File

This function allows you to insert Geo-Referenced image files into AutoCAD drawings. This process requires the presence of an accompanying World file.  The TFW file contains information about the location and scaling of the actual raster image TIF file. This eliminates the guesswork in inserting, moving, and rotating raster images to the project area. You begin by selecting the TFW or JGW file to process. If the related TIF file is present in the same directory, the image will be inserted into the proper coordinates.
