Hi,

 

 

I've never tried, but this might help you.

In AutoCad there is a command: Insert>RasterImage p.

 

 

You of cousre need to extract relevant geo-info from the image to have it reference correctly.

 

 

You can read the tfw with a textreader if it is a geotiff. Iff not, you might want to calculate or set the values by other means.
