Moving an object in one viewport without it moving in the other

Hello guys.

I have two viewports in autocad. The left one should be at a scale of 1:20 and the right one should be at a scale of 1:10. Is there any way to move an object only in the 1:10 viewport while making sure it doesn`t move in the 1:20 viewport?

Are you trying to move/adjust annotative text/dimension/attributes or block locations between the two scaled viewports in your layout? Or something else?

Sharing screenshots might help you explain it.

Yeah sure. I would love to send a screenshot. I just don`t know how to show a screenshot here.

Short answer is no, since vports are basically views looking into your drawing in model.

If you move the object in model, then any vport in layout looking at those objects will show them moved.

One way is to use the Windows Accessory "Snipping Tool" or the "Snip & Sketch" function [they're quite similar]. Once you have snipped, you can simply Ctrl+V Paste what you snipped into a Message here -- you don't even need to save it to a file or anything.

If that object is an "annotation" (m/text, m/leader... ), you can move it in different scales of it independently.

It's independent by scale, not by viewport.
