Thanks once again for all the input.
I like the suggestion of working in meters then scaling down (I have been having issues with creating radius, 0.75mm, so that should solve that issue)
I will open a new template and experiment for awhile,
Thanks again

In SketchUp, there is only one line type, a 1 pixel vector (SketchUp is mainly meant for 3D modelling, not 2D drawing where line types are traditionally used).

There is LayOut (for SU Pro) which can do this kind of traditional, "paper space" things or there are plugins like TIG's 2D Tools which has some tools for this kind of work.

Was afraid you were going to say that, will just break the lines manually until I find a suitable plugin.
Thanks

Also while I here could I pick your brains re the size of the template.
Are there settings to adjust the size of the drawing area, I'm only drawing small components but the work area would allow me to draw a house. When I zoom out the drawing is hardly visible. Any ideas how to correct this

How do I select different line types eg doted, dashed, broken. These would be for showing hole centres or edges on work piece that would not be visible in 2d.
Is line divide the only option for me?
Thanks

Thanks
