@freizeitkraemer said: Hi all, Text can be aligned left right and center but I can't find any option to justify text to form a nice block. Any work arounds for this one? I'm trying to convince my colleagues to use Layout rather than Indesign for SketchUp presentations - but the limited text format options really make it difficult to sell. Layout is great for presentations of models that evolve and need frequent updating or drawings in scale. But the general work flow issues, limited export resolution and missing text features leave Layout behind the competition. Having said that- I personally like it and use it a lot. cheers, Thomas BTW, why would you want to do this? The features in InDesign for EVERYTHING far outweigh those available in Layout! I currently work this way and it's rather seamless!

By default a 'save' in any version of Sketchup always takes the version for that SKP from the version you are in, so if you have a v7 file open in v8 and you 'save' it again it will become v8! To save as a version other than the one you are currently in use 'save_as' and choose an earlier version off the dropdown list. On a PC a file is typically opened by the last application used to open one of those file-types - BUT v8 opens all SKP files [as v8] when you double-click any SKP's icon. So to open a known v7 file in v7 you first must launch v7 and then use its File > Open menu item...

I use a Logitech MX Revolution here. best mouse I've ever had. (the model now is the MX Performance. basically the same design with some tweaks) as to the navi's.. yup I have one as well.. don't use it since it's no where near as useful as my N52te Nostromo keypad..
