My toolbars seem perfectly stable now; they stick exactly where I place them. I'm on Windows XP SP2.

We'll be upgrading our licenses from v.6 to v.7 now.
Thank you Google!

A faster SU (could still improve a lot though), much better Layout, UI reset, etc.... Very good!

Now let's hope GSU team can continue on the same pace for next release.
I have the feeling they are on the right track now.

I agree Kwist, finally a reason to pay for upgrading from pro 6.

did some tests with the Speed Test model:

Version 7.1 sounds worth the upgrade, and I did try to update my Pro on Vista this morning. But the update failed. I'll try again when I get back to my office this evening and post details of the error if it re-occurs, but has anyone else had problems with the upgrade?

Did you try an automatic update from SU or a straight download of the exe file from the SU site first?

I used the automatic update link, but this just downloaded the EXE any way. I used Run as Administrator on the downloaded file.

in both,
SketchUp and LayOut

did not even think about the possibility of this gift.

so, many thanks to whom corresponds

Hm. I don't know what the issue can be - true that I am on an XP (hopefully someone using Vista can chime in).

If it fails again, can you report it in the Bug Reports subforum? I believe "Googlers" will be monitoring that department more frequently in the near future.

The download may have corrupted, so it might be worth downloading it again just in case.

Great, it spins around SU7. Support of larger models is very helpfull and it seems that zooming was improved as well.
Switching on camera parallel projection I can zoom into small details almost indefinitely..

Omission of Dwg/Dxf import in free version ... well SU 6 will fix that....and I will probably upgrade to PRO 8.. 9 later ( depends on 2D tools improvements in LayOut..etc)

very good news to wake up to. It is a step in the right direction and hopefully it is a sign of things to come. Lets see how SU likes some xfrog trees now.

Gaieus · 23 Sept 2009, 12:00

Well, take it easy with those xfrogs

But there is a UI reset button.

is this what you are referring to?

Ok how do I go about updating this...I tried the "check for updates" option within SU and it say that I already have the lates version, but I am still running version 6. Then I went to the website and cant find anything about a free update. It is free to go from 6 to 7.1 right?

solo · 23 Sept 2009, 13:16

6 pro to 7 pro?

steelers05 · 23 Sept 2009, 14:11

yeah pro

Stinkie · 23 Sept 2009, 14:18

Not free then. 7.1's a free upgrade - but 7 wasn't.
