    Encoding and Data Organization Methods

    When you export certain file formats, such as TIFF, you are prompted for the encoding and data organization methods you want to use. If you are uncertain about which method to choose, then accept the default, which reflects how the image was saved previously.

    Note: AutoCAD works best with certain image types. To optimize performance, export or save your images in tiled compressed TIFF format whenever possible.
