Following this post. I would like to use arrows with tables. Yet my tables are too big and I want to rescale them using scalebox. But went I use place a tikzmark in the scaleboxed tables, the position is wrong. tikzmark seems to remember the point before the table is scaleboxed.

Do you have any solution to this problem?

Here is an example:

\documentclass[pdf]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>{}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark, positioning, fit, shapes.misc}

\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing, calc}

\tikzset{brace/.style={decorate, decoration={brace}},
  brace mirrored/.style={decorate, decoration={brace,mirror}},
}

\newcolumntype{g}{>{\columncolor{red}}c}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    \begin{tabular}{ | l | l |}
      \hline
      letter & number \\ \hline
      \tikzmark{x}A &  1\tikzmark{a} \\ \hline
      A &  2 \\ \hline
      \tikzmark{y}A &  1\tikzmark{b} \\ \hline
      \tikzmark{w}B &  1 \\ \hline
      \tikzmark{z}B &  2 \\ \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
      \draw ($(pic cs:a) + (3.5em,0)$) edge[bend left=60,-stealth] ($(pic cs:b) + (3.5em,0)$) node [midway, right, xshift=5pt, yshift=5pt] {Duplicate};
      \draw[brace mirrored, thick] ($(pic cs:x) + (-8pt,1ex)$)--($(pic cs:y) + (-8pt,-1ex)$) node [midway, left] {A};
      \draw[brace mirrored, thick] ($(pic cs:w) + (-8pt,1ex)$)--($(pic cs:z) + (-8pt,-1ex)$) node [midway, left] {B};
    \end{tikzpicture}

    \tikzset{
      every picture/.style={remember picture,baseline},
      every node/.style={
        inner sep=0pt,
        anchor=base,
        minimum width=1.8cm,
        align=center,
        text depth=.25ex,
        outer sep=1.5pt},
      every path/.style={
        thick,
        rounded corners
      }
    }

    \begin{table}
\scalebox{0.7}{
     \centering

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|g|c|}
        \hline
        bla   &  bla  & bla   & $b_1$\tikzmark{c}\\
        bla   &  bla  & bla   & bla \\\hline
        bla   &  bla  & bla   & bla \\\hline
        bla   &  bla  & bla   & bla \\\hline
        bla   &  bla  & bla   & bla \\\hline
      \end{tabular}
}
    \end{table}

    \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
      \node [right=2cm,above=2cm,minimum width=0pt] at ({pic cs:c}) (A) {A};
      \draw [<-,out=5,in=180] ([xshift=0pt]{pic cs:c}) to (A);
    \end{tikzpicture}

  \end{frame}

\end{document}

Old question, but here are two potential workarounds, both of which involve not using \scalebox.

  1. Reduce the size of the table by reducing fontsize and/or \tabcolsep instead of with \scalebox. Then the \tikzmark works fine.

  2. Place the tabular in a TikZ node with scale=X in the options, and draw the arrow relative to the node anchors. This is not as convenient as with \tikzmark solution though, as you have to figure out the endpoint of the arrow manually.
