Pilou,
Many, many thanks; the "changearcsegements" works brilliantly! Exported DXF's have 100% of Autocad Circle entities. It even works if you change the number of segments back to 24.
Again, thank-you very much for the link and to TIG for the excellent script.
Hi Anssi,
I understand the fact that Sketchup circles segmented, but why is it that about 20% of the circles export correctly, as standard circle entities in AutoCAD. Considering that the 1st circle was copied to create 4 x 10 array, so all the circle should be identical. If I repeat the export, exactly the same circles are correctly properly. If, in Sketchup, I copy one of the circles that previously exported correctly, this copy is also exported correctly. So it can work but it's just "buggy"!
I have over 80 of these panels (each with over 150 circles), so I was not relishing the thought of having to do each circle again in AutoCAD.
Regards
Pilou,
Many thanks, I'll get it a try.
Hi Pilou,
I've download and installed the plugin, but I am not sure how to use it. Any advice?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I'm having a hell of a time trying to export my Sketchup (Pro 7) drawings to AutoCAD DXF (or DWG). Specifically problems with circles. Exporting in 2D DXF/DWG just doesn't work at all; all circles appears as polylines. If I export my model (SKP attached) in 3D DXF export some of the circles export correctly (as circle entities in AutoCAD 2004), but the rest are still polylines (see screen capture and attached DXF). I've tried exporting in different versions of AutoCAD, DXF, DWG, Edges only, Faces only, but nothing works. This is just one of many panels (several months work) I've created in Sketchup so I'm very worried that I may have do them all again in AutoCAD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sketchup Panel I'm trying to export
So is this likely to cause any problems? My only issue so far is my "select circles" plugin (just got to remember to "select arcs" instead).
Hi All,
Has anyone had this strange occurance with Circles. If I "push" a Circle, when I save and reopen the file the Circles (either side of the hole) have become an Arcs (see right side of attached pictures). The circle on the left stays a circle. I've had no problem with this yet, and only noticed it after my "Select Circle Entities" plugin didn't work!
Hi Gaieus and Jean,
Brillant, now I have two solutions. Some great lateral thinking.
Many thanks for your help guys 
I had tried using a component but as you've said it only cut the hole in one surface. If I created a component from the two circles and joining faces, no hole was cut. I was sort of hoping that there would be a way to change the radius entity property for a multi-selection as you can do for layers. I looked at looks of plugins but nothing suitable.
Regards
Hi All,
I use Sketchup to design electrical panels. Along each outer edge of a panel I will have a series of drilled holes. Sometimes I need to change the size of these holes, but Sketchup will only let me change the radius of one circle at a time; I can't select and resize multiple circles (even if they are all the same size). I've tried the scale tool but it does weird things. I'm I missing something or is there a plugin that might do the job?
Many thanks
