nO- THEY ARE NOT ON THEIR OWN LAYER- i KNEW THERE MUST BE A N EASY WAY TO LOCATE THEM AND KEEP THEM IN ONE POSITION- THANKS

Are the PDF's inserted on their own layer and is that layer then locked?

Are you making use of layouts?

Acad LT 2017

As architects are loath to give engineers cad files I often have to import a pdf using pdfattach and then scale it into my model space drawing and crop off the architects title block

Having fettled the pdf's (multiple) where I want them and to the correct scale, how can I lock them into place so that I cant move them or adjust their scale at all?

Currently I am pulling a line from one corner to locate them and pasting a copy of the pdf's at another location away from my drawing area so I can always pull a copy back in

Is there a better way?
