Exercise P7: Inserting USGS Quad Sheets Using Quick Insert

In this exercise you use the Quick Insert method to insert a color image of a USGS quad sheet.

The Quick Insert method is one of several options for specifying the insertion point, rotation, and scale when you insert an image. This method uses the default correlation (World file, Resource file, AutoCAD Raster Design toolset defaults etc.) to insert the image, rather than prompting you to specify or modify values.

The Quick Insert method is useful when you want to insert images without changing any of the correlation values.
