    "Fitting" an aerial photo into a CAD drawing

    cdale, CAD Overlay is Raster Design, they changed the name in between v.2002 and v.2004 I think. Also I believe you can use the "align" command with any version of ACAD it's "rubbersheeting" images that you need Raster Design for. Just another tid-bit-- Raster Design is also handy with...

    "Fitting" an aerial photo into a CAD drawing

    You can rubbersheet the photo if you have CAD Overlay using 4 common points between the photo and your drawing. If you don't have Overlay then I would suggest scaling your photo somewhat close to what you drawing scale is and then use the "align" command (choose 3 common pts) to match the photo up.

    Using Excel Spreadsheet with ACAD

    That works great!!! I had to make sure my northing and easting were in the correct columns and save out my .xls as a .csv to include the comma but besides those few extra steps it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot, that's going to save me a ton of time.
