Dimensions LayOut are not the same as in Sketchup

christophe913

Hello,

It seems to be that the dimensions you add in Layout are not matching with the dimensions in Sketchup.
Please look at the picture below (from Sketchup): the marked dimension is 2mm.
The 2mm is the correct distance.

Now, when I send this drawing to Layout and I want to measure the same distance, I got a different dimension: 42mm !

I've tried everything!
It's a very annoying issue because you cannot rely on Layout's dimensions
I've read other posts about this issue (i.e. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12%26amp;t=35652 ), but the problem remains.

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Christophe.

Could you share the LayOut file? That would make it easier to determine what the issue is. I do all my dimensioning in LayOut and I haven't run into that issue at all.

Check your dimension style, and verify it is on auto, and not set to a specific scale for perspective dimensions.

That link doesn't work correctly. How about just uploading the file here?
