With AutoCAD widely used in infrastructure projects, one thing that I get asked about is an easy way to insert an image inside a complex area.

This is where the Express Tools > Super Hatch command is convenient, as it allows you to use an image as a fill pattern, as shown below.

It’s as easy as that!
