RE: What is the best rastor format to export to for quality?
OTOH, I was outputting drawings for use in a PowerPoint presentation the other day, and WMF was the only format with enough 'punch' to "read" well; also, the only format that I could output to be transparent. (Others' mileage probably varies . . .)

And my vote goes to TIFF for the best format from AutoCAD.
But TGA (targa files) files are far superior to all files.

The best raster output for AutoCAD depends on where you want to that output to go. My experience with outputting AutoCAD for uses other than plotting drawings is limited to MSWord documents and .pdf files. I have found that .tif works best for Word documents, especially if you use non-AutoCAD fonts in your drawing. .tif files in Word behave properly without such weirdness as flaky line weights and wandering text. Even .pdf has problems with non-AutoCAD fonts.
I can recommend an inexpensive program called Amethyst CADconvert which converts .dwg files on a batch basis to any of a number of graphics raster formats, including .tif, .jpg, .wmf and several others.
Amethyst's web address is: www.cadwizz.com.
I hope this helps.
