Hi
libreCAD is just great! i have been trying to promote open source softwares to students. However i was wondering if there could be possibility of importing georeferenced raster images in LibreCAD, either from Google Earth or rasters which are georeferenced geotiffs in Quantum Gis (which is an open source software i use and teach my students).

At present my students are using plexearth which is a plugin for autocad. This plugin imports georeferenced imagery and terrain from google earth into autocad. This can then be vectorised and taken to gis for building database. If this facility is available in LibreCAD, then we can go totally opensource :)

looking forward to hear from you....
