Advanced Image Loader is addition software to AutoCAD, AutoCAD MAP or AutoCAD Civil3D (or any other version of AutoCAD). It works with version 2007 as well as version 2008.

The software is designated to work with raster image files with TIFF, MrSID, JPG, GIF, BMP and PNG formats.

It connects raster images with AutoCAD drawings, inserts them into drawing, displays or hides them, and it is also capable to draw the frame like AutoCAD polyline entity.
Raster images which have the data about georeferencing are opened on correct position.
Georeferencing data are read from world file or, in the case of geotiff, from raster itself.

With the help of AIL, AutoCAD drawing can be linked with few thousands of raster image files! It is possible because raster images are not displayed in the AutoCAD drawing immediately after linking, but subsequently, when adequate command is given.

Linking to files
Linking with raster image files, but not immediate display inside drawing makes the image loader capable to link with few thousands of raster image files.

Drawing of frames
Before raster image is being inserted in the drawing, a frame can be drawn on the exact position with written name. It takes extremely short time for a few hundreds of raster images to be drawn, just one moment in comparison with the time needed for loading so much raster images.

Selection
Upon linking with bigger amount of raster images, it is possible to make selection of those which are needed to be drawn in AutoCAD. Selection can be made from the list or in the graphic part by picking of points inside raster image. Raster images will be selected in the list on one way or another. Selection inside the list is a base for working with other commands.

On-Off
The display of selected raster images can be modified very quickly by simple commands e.g. hiding, drawing and deleting of frames, zoom.
