      Is there a a way around this problem (see attached) the dimensions are sized 8 in SketchUp the smallest it will allow.

      Now as you can see it is hugely oversized and pixelated? What have I done?

        Are these dimensions added in SketchUp or in LayOut?

            Well, SU dimensions can easily get screwed in LO (or you have little control over them). Why don't you dimension your model in LayOut? (Those couple of dimensions would take about 5 minutes to swap...)

              Why don't you put the dimension in directly in LayOut?

              Is it possible that when you set the size of the text you selected Height instead of Points?

                I will have a look at your suggestion, in the meantime changing from raster to vector solved my problem.

                  Did that change the size of the dimension text?

                    Well yes it did and it also straightened the lines as you would expect from a vector file i guess.
