It would be good if it were somehow possible to get live co-ordinates of
the map window in the layout window, a la autocad paper space/model
space!

Is it possible?

Hi Bill,

I think I saw a recent post on how to do that, it involves pixels and
matching coordinates.

I want to transfer a thematic map to an image file and then import the
image to AutoCAD. The way I go about it at the moment is to have my
points displayed with cross hairs on top of thematic layer, then save
map window to image file and import the image to AutoCAD. I use the
points on the image to align with the duplicate points in the AutoCAD
drawing. I save the drawing and close it, then resave the thematic map,
with the points removed, overwriting the existing image. I open the
AutoCAD drawing and I have a clean image with just the thematic shading.

It sounds a bit cumbersome, but I can do this quite quickly, do you
think writing the tfw would save any time?

TIA

Brian

Not automatically. You have to write the *.tfw file.
