thanks guys hidden lines were on another layer and turned off. think this has resolved issue

Axes location
In perspective mode I change the axes location to align with another side of the building.
When going into parallel mode (to view plan / aerial view) the axes was shown located back in the original location. Going back to persp mode it changed back?? why does this happen??

image for you, it even creates faces between parallel lines ...grrr.

SUPro 2014.

A simple issue but in magnitude a real bug bear!!

When drawing lines the lines get broken into a few entities (upto 4).

This creates a nuisance when making a box and push pulling, is anyone else have the same issues?

real nice..thank you.

thanks for reply, yip found the scale tool.
Wouldnt it be great if you could scale scrapbook objects on import to drawings...eg 1:1 down to 1:10 or 1:20?

1. A follow me tool like sketchup
2. An Offset tool like sketchup!

These would allow you to draw walls in layout quicker (if required ofcourse)

The ability to scale a object when bringing it into the drawings from scrapbooks would be an AWESOME feature. eg from 1:1 to say 1:10. This would make all the difference to those using details in their projects which require working construction drawings to be to scale.

The ability to change the scale of an object imported from Scrap books would be an AWESOME [bold] feature. If it is there already can some let me know ..thanks

Hey all.
Im new to 2014 Layout (had the 2007 version which i used extensively) but would like to catch up on developments. I have a couple of questions.

1. Can we scale Layout "objects"? eg take a simple box for example which measures 100mm x 100mm. You want to scale it in proportion eg up or down by 50%. If so this would allow you to scale objects from your scrap book to suit the scale of your details.

2. Like Sketchup has plugins, does Layout have any and where can you find them to browse the features.

many thanks
Jeff
