NO, not in this first release of SketchUp 2013.
ADD: There is a plugin that can do this: [url=http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=470810#p470810:1ankxah2]Toolbar Editor (by Aerilius)[/url:1ankxah2]

thank you very much.
Another query. There are some open post sobe to review this new version of sketchup 2013? -
So far as I have read in this and other posts, as well as Trimbles blogs and info,
there seems to be NO (I repeat} NO real benefit to 2013 Make (Free Equivalent??) versus SU V8 Free.All the talk is about Pro and Layout.
In Trimbles' own description of the Make version, it very soon turns to Pro and Layout features. The only clear differentiation between Make and Free from Trimble is the Commercial Use restrictions, and this was obviously written by a lawyer, not an SU user/developer.
So can anyone please list the improvements that 2013 has over V8, and NOT ONCE mention Pro or Layout?

new icons, toolbar chaos fixed, better exporters/importers

If that's it, then Big Whop
But what do you want for free, eh?
-
free has been restricted more in 13...
-
Does the 2013 version PRO / MAKE has an option "save as" V6, v7, v8... ?
-
Yep

Thx! Cool !

This has always been a Pro only feature.

Thx for the info, but it's a pity, if yes that will boost the DC who have not the succes that they merit!

New for SU 2013... the SelectionTool is now the default tool, by popular demand.
(In previous versions the default tool was the LineTool.)

Let's hope this is a final decision.
You preferably enter a room (workspace) with a toolbox full of tools, to see what needs to be done, not with some tool in your hands. -

WOW, that means I can finally eliminate Startup.rb. A God-Send from the Sketchup folks.
I only asked for this when I first started using SU, back in 2005. Others before me, hence Startup.rb was there when I first posted.
8 years........ musta used a whole development team with prototyping s/w to fix that.
OR, maybe someone at Trimble actually uses SU and stuck a needle up someones butt to fix that.
I'm staying 8.

Don't worry, now you have to click the Nag screen away each time before you even get to the default tool.

Inn v2013 the MAC plugins store moved to the Users path and I understand that there is no HD equivalent?
To find your current 'plugins' folder type [or copy+paste] this into the Ruby Console +<enter>
Sketchup.find_support_file('plugins')
It should return your personal user's plugins-folder path...
