Global Tiff

That is the idea, the thing is, the tfw file that is associated with the tiff actually tells you where the lower left corner is in the real world, and how big (ie meters, feet) each pixel in the tiff is and whether or not the thing is rotated. When it is imported into ACAD, ACAD makes the rectangle for you and puts the tiff in it.

So if I can make something that reads the tfw file and can see the dimensions of the tiff in pixels, it should be fairly easy to create the rectangle. Putting the texture on it could either stay seperate (at least at first) or be included as part of the tool.
