You can insert images into the drawing. The list of supported raster formats is displayed in the Raster file formats section of the Options dialog box (the Tools menu– Options):

Raster images can be referenced and placed in drawing files but, like external references, they are not actually part of the drawing file. The image is linked to the drawing file through a path name. Linked image paths can be changed or removed at any time.

Once you've attached an image, you can reattach it multiple times, treating it as if it were a block. Each insertion has its own clip boundary and its own settings for brightness, contrast, fade, and transparency.

You can insert in the drawing a number of raster image files with the same name but different content. In such a case, a sequence number will automatically be added to the names of such images via an underscore sign “_” starting with 1.

To insert a raster image, specify the necessary options in the opened Insert Raster Image dialog box.

Parameters:

To insert georeferenced raster image, check Use World of TAF file in Options dialog.

When inserting raster images with geodata, the coordinates of the insertion point, scale and rotation angle are automatically substituted in the Insert Ratser Image dialog box.
