      I'm running Sketchup Pro 2021 on Windows 11. I haven't used it in a while, but it seems to me I used to be able to export a drawing as a pdf to send to my laser cutter. When I try to do that now, it seems to be exporting the whole view and not just the drawing (I'm using top down view, parallel projection). Is there a way to just export the drawing, or is this another case of my memory failing? Thanks for any tips.

        If you turn off the tags for the parts you don't want and set up a scene to show the object(s) you're interested in, you should be able to export the view. Or use LayOut. It would be better for setting up the view and getting the desired export.
