@dave r said: Paul, no one could accuse you of being long-winded. So if you are able to speed up drawing the tabs or box joints, would manually laying the parts out flat be a problem? LOL, No, not really, I just thought it would quicker to output the parts, nest them and the cut the parts.

Simone, Thanks for the reply It is on a PC hard drive, I open Sketchup Pro then open Layout, I then save the file before pressing the send to Layout button, I then get the error telling me to save the file first. I hope this helps many thanks Paul
