Question
Hi Paul,
I need help very quick if it is possible until tomorrow morning.
I've got a drawing with a big OS Map and lots of photos attached to the map. When I try to create the viewport looks like some of the text and arrows are moving from their places. It seems Ok in Model space but not right in Paper space. Can you help me, please? I would really appreciate a quick answer.
Thank you very much Raluca  

Answer
Hi Raluca,

I don't know if this will get to you in time but, without more info, all I can say is that it sounds like some of the text might be annotative, a feature that came out in 2008 I believe.  Annotative scaling of text will make it change size to fit the viewport in paperspace.

It helps in the future to know what version of Autocad you're using or if it's a vertical product like Autocad Architecture or Autocad MEP.

Sorry I can't be of much help on this one.
