Correlate image safe World file not working

[Joe-Bouza]

I have a scaned tiff in file A.

I scaled it, rotated, aligned, positioned , etc, then exported a world file.

when I go to file B and insert raster reading the world file it never comes in correct. It is either in the wrong position, scale or both. Is there something in the work flow I am missing?

• • This issue has been solve via SR
  • My work flow was corrected ; you should save the image to a new name before create creating a world file. Below is the work flow provided by Karsten of Autodesk. this worked perfectly.
  • Kudos Karsten
  • Open a new DWG
  • Assign a coordinate system to the DWG (Civil 3D or Map 3D)
  • Open/Import an image with Raster Design
  • In the import wizard I made changes (scale, rotation, defining custom base point)
  • Saved the image with new file name
  • Created and saved the world file
  • Opened a new and empty DWG
  • Imported the just created image
  • Result: All changes I have made to the image are still there and the image is located at the correct position
