Error Scaling Grouped Objects with Text Fields

I've created grouped artwork that contains several simple text boxes as well as vector shapes. When I try and scale these, either from the scaling dialog box, or by dragging I have issues:

- The text size inside the boxes do not scale

- Not every object in the group scales, leaving some pieces- especially text boxes behind.

I've created a series of UI vignettes for a product to use on a website, and now want to scale them for use on different size devices and cannot.

    I find similar issues when I import Illustrator artwork in to XD whether by pasting, using the Libraries, or importing a SVG. Text comes in in places it shouldn't, spacing and alignment is severely off.

    Does anyone have any tricks or workarounds?

    Hey there,

    I have tested this workflow at my end and found that the text will remain in its default size as per its font size.

    This will happen even when you will try scaling it individually (without in a group).

    For scaling all the other objects uniformly my suggestion would be holding Shift key while scaling them.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks!
