I design agricultural irrigation layouts using AutoCAD 2013, and have found a need to load Geotiffs into autocad to aide the designs. is there a way to insert a Geotiff so that it sits in the right place "inworld" ?
thanks

This is the LT Forum so you may be in the wrong place for your query but anyway:
Under the Tools Menu dropdown you can set the Geographic Location VIA Coords, or Google Earth.
May be worth trying there.

Hello
I think that ONLY AutoCAD MAP ou AutoCAD CIVIL can insert automatically "at the right place" :
- GeoTiff files
- TIF+TFW or JPG+JGW files
- ECW / SID files
- etc

There is a workaround but it is clunky and painfull. The link below give guidance on how Geo referenced files are attached. I've done it a couple of times but its labourious. It could be automated with LISP but i dont know how.

You will need the XML file that should be with the TIFF file. From that ou can open the file and get the co-ords directly.

You can use the GeoRefImg utility (free) to reposition GeoTiff files but not in LT - GeoRefImg is a LISP tool.

Lisp is not available in OOTB AutoCAD LT.
It is a violation of the EULA to make LT LISP capable (at least here in the States.)
