Layout 2013 Issues

You're right. Selecting the eye dropper allows you to sample an entity and apply it's style, font, etc. to other existing entities. How about using Tools/Style which on my Mac has B set as the default shortcut.
Excellent, that's the one. Thanks, Dave

Hi all-
The "copy from SketchUp and paste in LayOut" bug was introduced by some of the major refactoring in SketchUp. A fix for this is in QA as we speak and should be available soon.
thanks,

great news, Marc, thanks

Nope to the copy paste.
It does paste in a square. If you try it and check the references it seems to think there is an embedded model. and... try it and then apply a new style to the blank square and it will accept the style. also It seems I can double click into a 3D orbit - just no geometry made it through. If exploded the references get updated with an invisible square png.
Definitely broken but seems to be trying.... maybe there is still hope.
I thought the "send to layout" from Sketchup might be it but it opens a whole new layout document and adds in the whole model.

Ohhh- I type too slow.
Great news!

yes, that's good news Marc.

Yes, thanks Marc. Fixing that bug is huge for me. I use that process quite a bit.

Yes you do... and I liked it quite a bit when I saw you use it. It's not good for changes down the road, but it's nice when you just want some linework transferred over.

I've noticed that in LO below ~140% zoom the linetypes rescale on screen so at 100% there is a discrepancy in presentation from the exported PDF. I'd expect wysiwyg at any zoom where linetypes are concerned.
I've also found the pattern export quality to be underwhelming. The lineweights of the patterns just aren't heavy enough at 100%. I've found them almost invisible until you zoom at least 200%. In most cases the patterns are too big at 1x so I need to set them at 0.5x which makes the visibility even worse because they are bitmaps.
Surely TSU check the quality of hatch output in the industry standard Adobe Reader using real world objects e.g. 4"/100mm bricks or a 6"/150mm concrete slab at 1:50 or 1/4":1' scale?

I now only use it for things I know won't change - like property lines, setbacks, easements, existing topography. I can still do it via saving scenes, but I like to have the option of copy / paste between the two.
