Mysterious Deletions
-
When I reopen an SU file, it is often missing lines that I had, of course, previously saved. This happens about 3 time in ten. If it helps, SU typically does not connect points, in spite of screen messages assuring me that I am about to make a proper placement. Please advise.

Have you tried using the Model Info > Statistics > Fix Problems tool ?
Are you working at exceptionally small of large sizes?
I don't understand the part about 'proper replacement' ?
Can you attach an example SKP file... -
I methodically tried every visible menu and sub-menu and found none of the items you mentioned. Mine is version 8.
I use the term 'placement' when choosing a precise point at which to start or stop a Pencil line. I also use the term 'placement' when referring to the precise point at which I release the left mouse button after dragging an object to a new location. It has been my experience with SU that the little boxes are only kidding when they open to say things like 'Edge' or 'Endpoint'. On my computer, what they really mean is that I am close. Every line drawn requires a magnified view of each connection point to forge a closing of the gap. This, of course, typically results in coplaner nightmares.
As to scale, nothing larger than a house plan, but my work includes objects as small as two inches. -
That is VERY strange! Sounds like there are errors or something has corrupted.
I have imported DWG files from other programs and have seen corrupted object or models.
I would try downloading Sketchup 8 again and re-installing it.
Also, maybe update Windows too.I have never seen that problem before. As if the snaps were not working correctly. When it pops up with "Endpoint" it always means the very end of the line.
Check your snap options too under Window/Model Info/UnitsMaybe the "Enable Length Snapping" is set at a strange unit...
I mostly work in feet so I use .01'Let us know what you figure out
