The latest Hawkeye includes a new command to insert
Georeferenced Tiff files. Since the appropriate location is encoded in the georeferenced Tiff file,
Hawkeye can automatically place, scale, and rotate the image. This can save
hours of error prone manual manipulation of coordinate data.
Tiff's georeferenced with a world file, or georeferenced internally, can be used. Sorry, but we couldn't get this to work reliably in release 14.
So this feature is only available for AutoACD 2000 users.
