I plot a dotted rectangle in the graph. After I append the graph to the layout, the relative position of the rectangle changes.
Is this usual or I made it in a wrong way?

many thanks!
Use axis coordinates for your rectangle.

Thank you Jim.

I change the dotted rectangle from relative to plot relative. And this is what I meet. still not work. Difference is I just need to modify the rectangle to another position.

You need to plot relative to your axes. Y goes to the left axis and X goes to bottom axis. These will resize properly in the layout.
