      I see what you mean. If you know the envelope is going to change size, perhaps you'd be better off to not zoom in as tight as Zoom Extents allows. Also, you can set LO to not rescale when you change the viewport size. Would that help. there is a little oddness sometimes when resizing which has been brought up before in that the model will move slightly within the viewport when it is resized. I'm hoping that will change with the next version but that doesn't help you now.

      If you can't get permission to share the files on the forum publicly, perhaps you can get permission to share them with one person (me) who won't send them to anyone else.

          Why PSD...? ๐Ÿ˜•
          I'd prefer AI to have the vector graphic preserved...

            Does anyone know if there is there EVERRRRR going to be a new release of SU or LO. Been on the same edition for what feels like an eternity and am still struggling with the same issues and hoping for the same wish list items to be resolved. Is there anything in the pipeline? Heard a rumor about a 2013 release but only a rumor.
            I started (as many others did) a wishlist and just went to remind myself when I started it. May 2011!!!! and no news of anything since from anyone at SU. LO is desperately in need of some TLC in my opinion. Really hope there is going to be a new all singing all dancing shiny release VERY soon as its still seriously lacking when compared to other Professional CAD drafting packages. I love SU but LO ...... not so much!

              Where have you been? The folks on the SketchUp and LayOut team have told us there will be new versions of both coming out this year. We have no reason not to trust them on that.

                In a hole in the ground it looks like! Had a (very quick) look on here to see if there was any news on new releases but obviously didn't look hard enough. Great to hear there is a new release due.... Will wait with baited breath.

                I'll make sure I open my eyes before I open my mouth in future ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                  Hey guys, what do you think about the option to export to individual PDF files for each sheet? I assume file names could be linked to the master file name then page names...

                  Would certainly be of benifit to me!

                    Yes - definitely. Suggested this a while ago as its a feature of a couple of other CAD drafting packages and is certainly very useful...

                      I hope I'm not alone on this but having recently applied the latest M1 update I was disappointed to find all my toolbar customisation and side pallet arrangements have evaporated back to default AGAIN (happened in v8 as well)! Please can there be some way to retain customisation so I don't have to waste my life reconfiguring every time there is a maintenance release??? ๐Ÿ˜ก

                          "An option to input measurements in different scales 1:1, 1:5, etc. Useful for drafting on top of ortho views.
                          Components!!!!"

                          Yes, let me second this Motion. Drawing in Layout on top of a Sketchup model (viewed in a viewport) to SCALE of the model would be sweet. I often develop "concepts" in Layout that I then export to Presentation software that I use to display at workshops (large groups).

                          Making all overlay graphics readily to scale would be very nice.
