Cool... I'm trying it out! Let's hope it plays nice with Skalp!

I have not experienced any issues with Skalp by using the Layers Organizer.

Good to hear.... I did notice it flashes the Organiser window loads between Scene views which is a bit off-putting!

Hey Jason-

I just downloaded your .zip archive and successfully recreated a LayOut file from it. I didn't need to delete any pages, and I was able to open and view all of the pages in the recreated document.

You are correct that a LayOut file is just a .zip archive of all of the .xml files.

I will PM you a link to my fixed version of the file on DropBox.

Maybe something strange in your files going havoc with Preferences - General - Automatically fix problems when they are found (checked) ??

Just wildly guessing here.

... the dialogue box should have appeared and I can't for the life of me find it anywhere...

for this bit, did you try 'Reset Workspace' ???

for the stubborn dxf/dwg imports install Teigha File Converter.app

convert the files manually to dxf or have a look at jimfoltz's plugin freedxf...

it uses Teigha File Converter [same engine as SU Pro] but with different setting to recover more items...

Not sure it's an oversight. The dimension tools have been evolving in LO since their first introduction. It might be that we'll see some additional dimension types in LO2016. We can keep our fingers crossed, anyway.

I love Apple and own all the mobile devices, an iMac and several Mac Pros for my home, but in the pipeline for my work…there isn’t one Mac. It can’t run Autodesk 3D Studio Max, Fume FX, or CUDA so I’m still waiting. I hope that in the future Apple will remedy this situation so that a Mac Pro can be found everywhere without any limitations. —- AKIKO ASHLEY

That pretty much sums it up for me. It would be a no-brainer if the thing had even moderately good Nvidia cards in it. It's so frustrating that Apple (and almost everyone else) views 'Pro' consumers as video editors. I'm a pro; I make a living sitting in front of many many pixels creating stuff, stuff that actually gets built into real things.

The conclusion my better half (who's machine would shame anyone* on here) and I came to is that I buy another Retina Macbook Pro and build a monster powerful PC to use as a render slave.

Not exactly the same but...

It's not to do with resolution; I am running a pair of Thunderbolt displays at 2560 x 1440 each

If you look at the screenshot you can see that the OS is anti-alising very well.

I was running SU on the built in display before getting the TB displays and it was running very smoothly, with some small issues with tiny snap points and tool tips.

I attached a screenshot of the built in display.

Interestingly LayOut looks fine!

Probably the same issue, in document setup the reference is marked red, after update, the layout is changed but the text remains red.

Can you share the file you are working on?

Sorry no, it is a commercial project.
