      Why don't you try to use 2d tools for line types?

        Because I prefer to work in Vector or Hybrid mode, Pete. [although hybrid is less preferred].

        2D tools, as good as they are don't work well scaling linetypes in LO.

          Guys, I'm interested to know how you work with gridlines in architectural work. I've set up a scrapbook file of gridlines for my work which I overlay on the SU scene but ideally I want them in the SU file. Hence the DESPERATE need for linetypes in SU....

          I usually draw the lines in SU, Import them or copy paste them inside LO, place them on the right spot and explode them in LO.

            Hello
            Since I use Sketchup I am beginning not realized what layout means ... But now I use it often and am very happy! It is ultimately very good! I use it for presentation interior Renderings.

                  If they were to let anyone in I don't think you'd be able to say anything to anyone. Unless they don't do NDA's... but I bet they do.

                    too bad Trimble doesn't talk in public about the next release. Also, too bad they don't have more update cycles to squash bugs. As a pro user who uses SU & LO every day, I sometime feel a bit let down having to wait 4-6 months before maybe something is fixed (or not). Keeping fingers crossed for next release!

                      I think as much as we suggest that layout has its shortcomings, its an amazing tool for, as I've found, a host of work outside of architectural presentation!

                      That said some of those shortcuts are incredibly limiting.

                      BTW Chuck, I'll challenge you for the longest list!

                        The thing about lists is they tend to get longer when not much is ever removed from them.

                        And Richard, I'm pretty sure yours is longer, haha...๐Ÿ˜„

                          It is growing! And you are right, at a faster rate than the wish list being ticked.

                            And therein lies the problem with way too much software development.
