      You might try using 7zip to open the .layout file directly. It'll recognize the file as a zipped archive. Also make sure you use the exact right name for the font you are switching to.

      Hi Here is another WIP code this time wrapped up as a plugin. Still it works only for groups. Running: Select entities first, then use menu Plugins/SPP to execute plugin, click with a left mouse button on a screen. Observe status balk messages. How it works: Plugin works in 4 steps. It will search for all groups in a selection and make every group unique In every group it searches for a biggest face, and then rotates whole group so normal vector of biggest face is pointed up (0,0,1) Then the angle between X axis and main centroidal axis of this face is found, and group is rotated one more time, to match orientation along X axis. Last step is placing oriented groups along Y axis, with a separation between groups ( bounding boxes ) of 1 inch. ( to change it look for separation=1 in a script and change it there, I will code another way to do it later). Calculation based on : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_area#Area_and_centroid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_moment_of_area#Any_cross_section_defined_as_polygon Therefore it works nicely for a faces without inner holes. For a faces with holes it gives a slight incorrect result in step 3. This plugin is a part of a bigger toolset that I am making to use Sketchup for making paper models ( SPP stands for Sketchup-Paper-Planes), more will surface in a near future.
