Importing GeoTiff into Vectorworks/QGis - CAD - distorted/stretched

Hello there,

when importing the GeoTiff file for one of my maps into Vectorworks or QGis (I tried both to see the difference, but the problem remains the same in both programs) the GeoTiff becomes horizontally stretched and distorted. What is happening here? How to solve this problem?

 

Thank you

You need to select epsg:4326 (WGS 84) as the projection to correct for the ratio between latitude and longitude degrees changing as you move further north or south from the equator.

Tried this within QGis but still doesn't change the image

The coordinate information and measurements will be correct. You may need to change the projection display to meters or something like that.
