[GIS] ArcMap layout graphics

arcgis-10.0graphicslayouts

When I try to copy graphics and text between .mxd documents, size of the elements (width, height, font size) change randomly. Anyone know how to transfer LayoutElements between .mxd without any distruptions?

Best Answer

Use the "Zoom Whole Page" button in layout view on both map documents before you copy / paste.

This will make all elements in the .mxd the same size. By default when you paste elements into another map document they should be in the same exact position as they are in the original mxd.
