Dave:

Thanks for the help. Funny about the Layers thing. I do not recall ever changing that. Been using Layout for many years and never had this problem until I tried to use Auto Text.

My version of Layout is 21.0.392

Having trouble first time using Auto Text

I'm trying to add page numbers. I can see how I get to the page numbers selection when I go to Auto Text, but how do I actually get the page numbers onto the pages? Once I type something (anything) onto one page, the exact same text appears on all the pages. I was hoping to get "Page 1" on the first page, "Page 2" on the second page, etc. Was hoping that Auto Text would take cate of that for me.
Having given up on that, now I find myself stuck in Auto Text-- I can't seem to find the "exit Auto Text" option. No matter what I type anywhere on any page, that text now appears on ALL the pages. I want to stop that and just go back to where I can type specific text to a specific page and not have that text appear on other pages.

Thanks if advance for helping. Been using LayOut for years but just can't figure out how Auto Text works.

Been using SketchUp/Layout for years and have one recurring problem and one new problem:

Whenever I set the scale fin Layout or my SketchUp model, I always get 1/2 of what I ask for the first time, then have to set it again. If I want 1/4" scale, it gives me 1/8" scale the first time. This has been happening across multiple versions for many, many years.
Just started using 2021 version and it seems that something significant has changed regarding Scenes. Scenes doesn't seem to work properly if my new scene is a different location in my SketchUp model. I checked all th usual things, but I can't for the life of me get the Layout Scene to change to the correct SketchUp scene when I cut and past the SketchUp frame onto a new Layout page. When I select "Scene 4" for my new scene, for example, I still get Scene 3 (the scene I cut and pasted from).

Thanks in advance for advice/help. I'm on a MacBook Pro OS 10.13.6
