# AutoCAD Plant 3D

## <span style="color:rgb(255,16,61)">Loading Georeferenced Images</span><a name="top"></a>
These instructions apply to Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D 2015 and above, and describe how to load JPG files exported from MetroMap. Please note that Plant 3D will not incorporate JGW georeferencing files when doing this, so you will need to manually place the imagery into your drawing and adjust the size appropriately.   
> <sup>Screen images shown below in these instructions are from AutoCAD Plant 3D 2020.</sup>
