Source Tab (Image Insertion Dialog Box)

Use this tab to pick a source of correlation data for the image.

Correlation Source

When you select a correlation source from the list, the correlation values and other data on this tab is updated from the source.

Note: Asterisks (*) are displayed beside numeric values that are the default values assigned in the AutoCAD Raster Design Options dialog box.

Depending on image type, up to four sources can be used:

  • Image File. Correlation data can be saved as part of the image file if the file type is RLC, IG4, IGS, GeoTags in GeoTIFF, or HDR File in SPOT.

  • Default. Refers to values set in the AutoCAD Raster Design Options Dialog Box.
  • Resource File. A file created by the AutoCAD Raster Design toolset Export operation or previous versions of AutoCAD Raster Design toolset. Resource files have a .RES file extension.
  • World File. A file created by the AutoCAD Raster Design toolset Export operation for all image formats, or by other applications. World files have different file extensions, depending on file type.
