Inventor Text Box

Hello, I am currently working an an inventor IDW (drawing) file.

I have copied Some lines and text from autoCAD to inventor.

I then Pasted the data into a sketch in inventor.

I needed to scale the drawing because it didnt fit the page like i had wanted.

So i then scaled the data a certain size.

Everything appears normal, but when i click "finish sketch", the text reverts back to its original size AND the nodes for the text position are in the wrong place.

For example, When i click on the text, the green nodes (or text box if you prefer) appear somewhere else. If i edit one of the nodes, the text jumps to where it is.

How can i scale my drawings properly without it doing this? Why does it do this?

 

thanks.

Inventor is smart enough to pick up you auto desk style settings. I am currently out of the office and don't have a copy of inventor to check settings

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

It almost sounds as though you are trying to use Inventor like you would Autocad.  If that is the case, you need to understand that they are two completely different tools.  Can you post some screen shot showing what you are trying to describe?
