If I use the dimensions in layout they are not related to the SU object. If I change that (we have very often this case), the dimension will not change automaticly. This is the handicap in my opinion. So I accept the loss in comfort in relation to layout dimension.

I found it . The reason are the Win7 display settings (see att. picture) If I change to "smaller-100%"
the arrows will be small.
sadly I need a magnifier for the text then
Thanks for you help

to disable the OpenGL settings and restart brings the same: arrow size will change

Font for dimensions is Tahoma 6pt (current). It is always avalaible in the new system. I have try to change it into Arial, but the result is the same: arrows are bigger then before. Normal text have no changes.
I tested SU 2014 last year, but especialy Layout2014 was not stable on my computer, also the most new features are more interesting for architecture drawings. After every crash I had to remake my personal settings, this wa very troublesome bacause there is no feature to save this settings.
I have try it now again, but it shows the same: If I refresh an layout file the arrow size changed.

Is it possible to save the personal preferences (toolbar, paths etc.) from layout 3 (Win7) for easy restore after new installation? I have tested it with the AppData\Roaming folder but it don`t work well.

Hi community,

I use SketchUp 8 pro in my company to design mechanical parts.
Normally the part is drawed in SU, then I do dimensions in SU and send it to layout for generating a technical drawing with some views.
So meanwhile I have a lot of drawings and layout documents. Until now this works fine.
Now I have changed my computer (and system XP to Win7) and after installlation I have the problem that after refreshing the layout documents all dimension-arrows are 3 times bigger then before.
Is there anybody with an idea what is the reason for that?
Exist an possibility to edit dimension-arrow size in SU or maybe a plugin for this?
Thanks for your help
