Text disappears behind viewport

[Samr1979]

Hope someone can help me with this. When I have a Viewport with the object shown as shaded any text I type in the layout tab inside that viewport disappears behind the viewport. In the drawing I attached you can see a schedule behind the viewports. I have to have those objects as shaded. Is there anyway to have the text not disappear if its in the viewport area?

When I plotted the layout to PDF the table came out Ok. Tried a couple of things like draworder etc but they had no effect.

 

Ok a way around it, copy the table to clipboard and paste in MODEL, go back to layout make a new viewport in layout set UCS W PLAN zoom in on table etc and set a suitable scale, shrink the viewport close to the table move the viewport over the two other viewports. I am sure if I played more could work out viewport scale so correct text height.

 

Ps set viewport outline to "No Plot".
