Feature Description Benefit
Match images to
AutoCAD scale
and rotation
based on known
points
Align an image to existing
vector linework by specifying
control points on the image and
drawing. The Match command
rotates, scales, and moves the
image.
One-step image registration saves
time and improves accuracy when
working in raster or hybrid files.
Save image
correlation
information to
the drawing file
or to an external
file
Civil, mapping, and GIS
projects require correlated
imagery to enhance presen-
tations. Use powerful options to
save the correlation information
to a resource file, a world file, or
the image file.
Save processing time and file
storage space by exporting a
correlation as a world file without
the associated image.
Save images to
different file
formats
Read in the supported image
format and then save in your
standard image format. Use
images in other software
applications. Save an image to
another file name, file type, or
location without saving the
drawing file.
Share and use data in other
applications. Standardize image
formats for consistency within your
organization.
Enhance images
with Histogram,
Convolve, and
Invert
commands
The Histogram command
equalizes images, adjusts
brightness and contrast,
converts grayscale or color
images to binary images, and
converts color images to
grayscale.
The Convolve command uses
smoothing filters to reduce
ruggedness and noise. Use
sharpening filters to make
differences in shading more
distinct.
The Invert command reverses
the light and dark shades of
binary, color, and grayscale
images.
Improve and adjust the appearance
of images. Take full advantage of
your investment in existing imagery.
Highlight image
details by
adjusting red,
green, and blue
(RGB) or
individual color
channels
In color images, adjust the
brightness and contrast of
individual color channels for the
whole image or a subregion.
Improve and adjust the appearance
of images to better communicate
project information.
