@pipingguy said: wonderful Most applications that use fonts use the system fonts. SketchUp and LayOut aren't unique in that. There are a few that add some fonts but for the most part, they all come with the operating system unless you install them yourself. As I said, if you really must stick with the font you've chosen, you can edit it. A great tool for that is FontCreator which will let you create your own fonts as well as edit existing ones. And it really isn't all that difficult to do.

Evidently there's a bug related to certain OSX versions. There's a fix on the way but in the meantime you can get to the export option. @unknownuser said: that pulldown, which is too long to fit in the space, below the Templates folder, is the Format pulldown. DWG/DXF is the last of 4 selections on that pulldown. Hit tab 4 times, then hit space bar (to select that pulldown), then type the number 4, and type Enter. You’ve now selected DWG/DXF. Hit tab, then space bar, to select the option menu. DWG/DXF options should appear. Make your selections, hit enter. Now you can click on Save and it should save. @unknownuser said: One thing this presumes: that you’ve got “All Controls” set in System Prefs ->Keyboard->Shortcuts (at the bottom of that panel). You can toggle it on or off anytime using Crtl-F7. If you don’t do that, you wont be able to get to the Option button.

Yes it seems to have been a problem with the view in the scene that was being used. Thanks for the help.

For any AutoCAD users out there....I found a LISP routine that identifies these little buggers.

Yes, it's true,It was just a prediction (no information), we call it the French flair! .Well, the new version of SketchUp pro and Layout brings us a lot of good things and especially for DWG imports/exports. cordially

A title block should be part of your template. Make a template for the size of the paper you're working with. If you need to print on different size sheets, make the template for the largest and print the exported PDF to the desired smaller size.

@dave r said: The section cut lines are not edges in the SketchUp model so you can't dimension to them. Peter's suggestion works because edges are created in the group. You could also use TIG's Section Cut Face and make the edges of the faces visible. I use TIG's SectionCutFace, I never noticed that option. Duh! Thanks.

I would suggest you create one or more layers specifically for SketchUp viewports and keep the viewports on them. When I create templates for LO, I always have at least two if not more layers set up for viewports and the lowest viewport layer is set as the active one. That way, when I use Send to LayOut, the first viewport will automatically be on the correct layer.

Happy to get you sorted. Bookmark this thread.

Point taken - will do!

@ben ritter said: Had the same issue in Layout 2017, but that just seemed to happen from one day to the next. Fixed it simply, but not sure why it happened. BTW, what are PID's? PID's are Persistent ID's. They are what allow dimensions in LayOut to be connected to the model and update automatically if you change the dimension in SU. If you delete a line or a point that is being used by a dimension in LO, though, the ID goes away and the dimension loses its connection.

It never occurred to me to draw freehand like that with arrows Thanks for the share!

As I understand Layout is for publishing projects. Sketchup is for sharing files with partners. And that is the whole story. You can export layered DXF with Skalp.

Arrange your trays as you wish and 'Save as Template'. Of course you can save other parameters also.

In the scenes manager, make sure "visible layers" is checked, select the layers you want visible, then update, then save. If not, each scene changes with the current layer selection.

@rtd said: Is it possible to convert a SketchUp object to a LayOut object; that is, a real LayOut vector object, not just a link to a SU file? Yes it is. First render the viewport as Vector. Then right click on it and choose Explode. You may find you need to ungroup and possibly more than once.

Just a heads up that Dave is working with the LO team to resolve the issue. However in the meantime I would suggest using the ROUNDUP and IFERROR functions in Excel. For example: =IFERROR(ROUND(O11/5.678,2),"") This has solved my issue in LO.

Not disagreeing with you, but wondering why the output resolution affects the orientation of imported images when exporting to PDFs

I usually use a line thickness of .1 for these types of details being the display of screws and bolts i am not big on scrap books for inserting in my eyes cad objects i use them for boiler notes weld symbols section cut lines elevation symbols etc.
