Donco15 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi all Quick question - How does one group a series of CAD Text boxes and image to make them move together like an architectural Box? I created a detail drawing with several text boxes in the plan file. I want to be able to manipulate them in the layout file as an image instead of a series of individual boxes. Since they are CAD text boxes the Architectural box feature does not come up. Let me know if there is a way to do this.

When you group select them and send to layout, they will all be grouped together in a layout box. I'm not understanding the problem, I suppose.

Donco15 Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 The issue is _ I cant send to layout as an image together because they do not fit on layout page with my drawing I decided to draw my details separately and save as an image file(s) The resolution is not good when I save it and import to layout file Take a look at the resolution quality of the image Thanks so much for any help in how to make this work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
