small voice/question here... 2013 - still no spellchecker for windows version? Have I missed it/lost the toolbar/looked in the wrong place? Where is it or why isn't it? Need it! What does everyone else do?
sincerely, poor speller/typist!

+1000, yes, with all are link with text.
I'm bad example in English, Jeff could not understand me -
I hope this will not have a ton of abusive replies heaped up on me. if it does I shall ignore it gracefully.
but I just cannot understand why people bother trying to convince others of something they think and dedicate precious time to heated and sometimes offensive exchanges. (it is amazing how a simple discussion about software can become personal: you this, you that...)
experience has shown that people do not change opinions on the basis of other people's diatribes. thus in my opinion if you like using Sketchup you stay with it and try to contribute positively to its development. if you do not like it, is fed up with it, does not agree with the way its developing, etc, you are free to go and start using some other app.
as simple as that.
a good example of that is our friend kwistenbiebel who had been unhappy with Sketchup for a long time. he vented his disatisfaction here for some time and, not seeing Sketchup evolve to his satisfaction, moved along to greener pastures. or so it seemed at the time. without bothering the rest of the membership.

All very sane and true Edson.

no... not for spelling in SU - I want to be able to check the annotations I add to my plans in LO

Mods need to RENAME this topic: "Everything BUT SketchUp 2013
".. and then start a NEW topic: "[talk] SketchUp 2013 ONLY
" -
you are free to go and start using some other app.
Edson, i'm from such type of people. But technology of active surfaces (surface and push&pull) return me back to skipy -

To some extend I - surprisingly - do understand your argument here...
However... If I felt that something I represented was moving in the opposite direction as to where my passion is, I'd need to take my clothes and step away...
(in other words, I'd return my badge...)I've never said I think SketchUcation is going in the wrong direction -- quite the contrary. I point people towards SketchUcation whenever possible, and make sure to point out that this is the best asset SketchUp has going for it. If you are a power user of SketchUp you should be at SketchUcation... period.
The only reason I would want to leave is if I felt I was being an undue bad influence -- which I do not believe. If anything I am attempting to add focus and clarity to the displeasure many are feeling about these last few "updates". I want the faults to be clearly understood, the options to be thoroughly (and openly) discussed, and the blame to be placed where I think it should.
Not much has changed between the mismanagement of SketchUp under Google and the mismanagement of SketchUp under Trimble -- what has been constant is the leadership of "darling". So I think it should be obvious that the problem is/was neither Google or Trimble but "darling". It could be that he lacks conviction to stand up to the higher-ups -- but based on the things he has said, I tend to think the problem lies within his actual viewpoints themselves.
Best,
Jason. -
In Jason's defense .. a LOT of what he says makes sense, is also felt by many, but lacks tact (to the "cringe level".)
I will however disagree with starting personal feuds against certain Trimble employees.
As customers we should think of them as a business entity that is competing for your business.
So I DO enjoy reading Jason's views. I think he should stay, but be a bit more tactful.
(And start your OWN topic next time you want to take the convo off topic, please.) -

Good idea. I've not used Layout much so I rarely need to deal with much text. But spell-checker is always welcome.

I agree what a fine addition that would make... BTW I've said it elsewhere I'm a a big fan of Layout, and I will give "darling" full credit for that.
As for tact, my wife had always said "it's not what you say, but how you say it that turns people off" -- however she has recently amended that to "it's what you say". Somehow I feel more gratified by that... I would rather be clearly understood and hated, rather than misunderstood and loved.
Best,
Jason.
