I would suggest you convert the TIFF4's to maybe a jpg or png for use with Autocad. Just remember to increase the quality and lower compression of the jpg or png.

I don't know if it will handle TIFF4 but I use Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) for most of my image conversions.

Do you have Raster Design, Andrea? That will convert your images as well.

The issue with TIFFs and AutoCAD is to do with the LZW compression algorithm. Autodesk will not buy into a licence for LZW and so only uncompressed TIFFs can be used. For the same reason, GIFs are not supported - they use LZW too.

I use Photoshop for image conversion but any of the free apps like Irfanview will do just fine.
