Coordinate Information

Will VectorWorks read coordinate information so that drawings are positioned according to their coordinates in geographic space? Can you use geo-referenced data in VectorWorks?

For instance, you get a file from a surveyor -- will Vectorworks read the coordinate information?

You get a TIF image accompanied by a TFW file -- will Vectorworks read the TFW file and place the image in it's correct position according to the coordinate information?

For vector data, VW uses the world coordinates of imported files (in my line of work, we are talking about millions of units in x/y cartesian coordinates) without a hiccup.

But GeoTIFFs - no. And of course, VW won't even recognise EWC-files (the emerging standard for aerial photos; if you are on the Mac-platform, GraphicConverter is AFAK the only program that can open & convert EWC.)
