Thanks Tig, thats a very useful addition that will get used.

This takes you to v1.3: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=19329#p19329
It fixes a glitch in the TextTag Editing.
You could select any component as if it were a TextTag and edit it !
Now only lets you edit a TextTag...
DXF export still WIP...

This takes you to v1.2
Dialog allows 'stand-off' of tag to be set, default=0.1"/1mm: this allows you to stand text-tags above the surface they snap to for visibility reasons...
Cast/receive shadows can now be set: so if standoff needs to be quite large for visibility reasons and shadows need to be on the text-tag won't cast a shadow onto the face behind it...
A Proto TextTag >>. DXF exporter has been started... BUT I've stripped it out of this release as it's still too flaky - probably see next release for this...

TIG,
Thanks Lots,and timely as well for a foundation plan I was working on.(mid December)In my drawing I have experienced a long delay after editing any text tag, I can't say it is any one text tag for sure.
I have a number of them, with varying attributes, yet I somehow suspect the delay occured after adding several text tags with bold text.
Not a huge problem....just thought you would like to know.(perhaps you are already aware) Or it is something else entirely.
I plan on saving the file in another name and deleting the bold text tags to see if they are the culprit.Best,
Charlie

dxf export still WIP TIG?
IMPORTING - sorted!
I am trialling Deep Exploration at the moment. It converts dwg to skp complete with text! (something Sketchup cant do currently) so I am happy that I can now get dwg into Sketchup.EXPORTING - still a problem!
Sketchup - exports skp to dwg (inc dimensions) but no text-tag!
Deep Exploration - exports skp to dwg (inc text-tag) but no dimensions!I need to use text-tag because 'normal text wont stay flat . . but I cant give copies of drawings to other consultants as dwg without losing text or dimensions.
Oh I do wish the SU team would sort this mess out.

The DXF Export of TextTags is still WIP. Needs a long stint of effort to read TextTags' attributes and make into MText definition and then add that to a DXF file etc...
SketchUp DOES Export TextTags as dwg or dxf (They come in as blocks - but are shapes rather than text - so later editing is NOT possible), BUT if you have the 'filled' version (without visible edges) they don't show up in some AutoCAD view style settings.
To help with this I have adjusted the 'Filled' setting for TextTags to Yes= filled, with NO edges; Yes+Edges= filled, WITH edges and No= Edges and NO faces... Then they do show up in the exported dwg in most 'styles' if they have edges set...
...For new version see... http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=47399#p47399
