Hey guys.

I know there are a few CAD monkeys on here and Designers and what not that may use it too. Do you have any experence in using ECW files in AutoCAD? Specifically which Ad-on you use or have heard good things about.

I generally only use 12D (and Civil3D if I have to use an AutoDesk product) which both have ECW support but the drawing file i'm giveing is to be used in AutoCAD where ECW isn't a supported image file.

I found this one; http://www.earthetc.com/gis/new-version-of-autocad-ecw-plugin-now-supports-autocad-map-3d.aspx but I cant look into it unless I go home or get the file cleared through ISS... which would take too long, concidering it might not even work.

A work around for either 2009 would be awesome but a working fix for 2006 would be great too (currently rolling out 2009 but still have 2006 access.)

Also, yes I could convert the ECW into something like .jpeg but then not only am I doubling up on 75GB worth of images I'm also loseing the majority of MetaData associated with those images.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I thought this was a Wrestling thread.

Me too.

Then you're both stupid.
