You would need to link the particular auto text string to a specific model instance... I often have 2-3 model instances / views on 1 page, sometimes at different scales, sometimes in perspective with no scale.
What I do is have custom auto text created that is setup for my typical scales - <s0>, <s1>, <s2>, etc. - then I just type or copy past this in my notations as required.... s0 is NTS, s1 is 1/4" - 1', etc. etc.
Official SKP Forums:
The SketchUp Community is a great resource where you can talk to passionate SketchUp experts, learn something new, or share your insights with our outstanding community.
SketchUp Community (forums.sketchup.com)
In all of my interactions with development team through forums, face to face at Basecamp, or via email / trouble shooting the team has been very responsive (this has been since the shift to Trimble).
What are you having to 'relearn' with each release?
I have this happen from time to time...
I am using the app 'Moom' on my Mac to move / reset windows when I switch from 1-3 monitors.
You can also for LO to arrange the panels...
What are you trying to import to?
You can change how LO renders each model instance... from hybrid to raster to vector.
I use vector for shop drawings, hybrid and or raster with architectural drawings, depending on what I'm trying to achieve.
my.sketchup.com runs in the browser... you need a trimble account, and pretty sure you can send someone a link. i don't think you can protect the files though (yet) - so someone could save your work locally - maybe not an issue for you.
Pan SketchFab on iPad / iPhone by using 2 fingers to move the model left / right / up / down.
+1 for SketchFab... here's a model of mine:
With the paid version you can save out notes as annotations, and I believe those get saved sort of like 'scenes'. And there is an upload plugin from SKP to SketchFab by Alex Scheyer that makes life really easy.
Nothing to report, sporadic crashes in 2017 Mac with certain models, solid in 2015 and 2016 with same model.
Working just fine, same model in 2016.
Will see if I have the latest SU2017 installed.
Getting crashes in 2017 Mac with the latest update. Might copy back in my older version and see if I get the same behavior. It didn't crash yesterday at all.
I believe using thomthom's Selection Toys you can select all instances of a group or component, even if embedded within other groups / components / on layers that are off / etc....
IIRC doesn't the leader tool have an auto text option to pick up the face area?
I'd like to see something similar...
And I'd like to see PDF export that does not include any pages that you have turned off with the 'include in presentation' toggle. Maybe add that to the layers, and get it to work for screen presentations as well as anything you print / export.

@pbacot: if you have an Nvidia gfx card, open the Nvidia control panel (in Windows system settings - no idea where on OSX) and look for the program list. Make sure SketchUp is on the list
We're talking Macs here. I looked in System Preferences and searched with the (idiot) Spotlight search, but I don't see anything. My card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Open LO and get it loaded up with a drawing.
Then go to About this Mac and it will tell you what card it is using...
Should automatically switch over.
The CadMouse I ordered as soon as I suspected mine was bad arrive a couple of days ago... thankfully, so I could get back to my full speed work.
I am awaiting the warranty replacement - I will keep it as a spare.
Overall 3d Connexxion did a great job on the service side of things.

Thanks for the update. Nothing to report here.
3DConnexion were in touch this afternoon. As the mouse is still in warranty, they will replace it.
Great to hear. I ordered a spare, while waiting on word for what's up with my current one. Just got the RMA email and am waiting on the new one(s) to arrive.
Can't get here soon enough.

Mike,
I agree on how good it is - light action buttons & a proper middle button, rather than just pressing the wheel mouse makes a huge difference. The virtual onscreen pop up control becomes a natural way of working.
But - my old Microsoft Intellimouse lasted longer than the CADmouse for far less money, so I hope 3Dconnexion respond with a solution promptly.
They called me today. They asked me to install a firmware update... but I'm on a Mac and it only runs on Windows, so I had to boot up my accounting machine (my old Mac) with Bootcamp and Windows7. After installing the drivers, then installing the firmware updater and then again installing Java Run Time I was able to load the firmware onto the CadMouse... then plugged it into my current Mac... and have the same issue.

Agree on that. Pro tools need to last for a pro time.
I have a couple of Logitechs here going on 8 years old...
