      Hi Dave R, I have seen some of Nick Sonder's drawings but don't know how he does it or what the tricks are....

      See this

      Nearly every LO project I create has at least a few dimensions. Most the projects are covered with dimensions. Yes, once in awhile I have problems with a few dimensions not aligning to points on the model and yes, I hope that gets fixed. I've sorted out a work around which isn't all that difficult. It's certainly not enough of a problem to quit using LayOut.

      This is an example of part of one of my projects.

      This is reduced from a 36"x48" sheet. All told there are several hundred dimensions on the three sheets. I had alignment issues with a few of them but i was able to straighten them out. Again, no reason to quit using LayOut. there are too many advantages to using it with SketchUp models that outweigh the few niggling problems.

          Marc,

          I've done dimensioned three or four projects with LO2013 and haven't had any problems with offset dimensions at all.

          Thank you so much for the fix.
