Sketchup like 2d cad possible?

can i use sketchup with 2d cad? itry to do it but it is very difficult. for layout forlayer coloretc etc
I lost a lot of time thinking about work as a method for autocad, but I'm frustrated -
SketchUp is really meant for 3D but of course, you can alwas draw in just 2D (on a single, flat plane). Maybe try out TIG's 2D Tools

Hi Jim78b.
I think TIG has done a plugin that does exactly that? i.e. Make a model, then the plugin gives you 4 orthographic projections where you can add dimensions.

There's also another great plugin that allows parametric dimensioning, by a Russian company- a company who's name currently escapes me too
It's too early and I have a headache! Sorry.
But there is hope out there!

Well, I do not use that plugin as I mostly model in 3D and do not need the extra features it provides. Why don't you try?
