How can I create a dwg to open a tiff based on tfw information?

I have a tiff file with a tfw. I need to get those tiffs into dwg at the correct coordinates based on the tfw. Basic fme translation produces a new png file. I would simply like to create a dwg that would read the existing tiff. I have over a 1000 files to translate so I don't really want to create new pngs for all those tiffs.

Hi @johnraybeck​ ,

 

Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible at the moment as the dwg writer can only put out png's as xrefs - please consider upvoting and sharing your use case as a comment on this idea: https://community.safe.com/s/idea/0874Q000000TlRvQAK/detail as it will help our team get a better understanding of how to prioritize this request.
