AutoCAD/LT is not a raster Graphics program: it's a vector based CAD
program.
If the problem is related to the 'new computers', my guess is the 'new'
computers are the problem: can you replicate the issue on a different make
and mode PC, or maybe one of their 'older' PCs?
Also, are you by chance 'resizing' the images? Like, making them bigger
after you import into AutoCAD? That's another mistake, since Raster images
are usually just 'single shot' views that do not resize without the pixels
in the image getting bigger.
So, clarke_bb, looks like you got some testing and detailed answers to seek:
a sample DWG file would also help if you decide to post back.
