I'm on Sketchup 2017.

Please update your profile. That information helps us help you if it is correct.

I've chosen not to upgrade past that because I have some plugins that I was told (actually, by you, I think) that they wouldn't work in newer versions.

What plugins?

Andy, that would be me and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cotty's got you set up with the link to the Wudworx tools. Good luck. BTW, check out the latest post on the Design. Click. Build. blog. I showed using the Wudworx Dovetail tool for cutting some dovetails.

Maybe just get a wheel mouse, which also has option for push down (and possibly side to side) for the wheel. If needed use a third party driver to fine tune your mouse settings. I use Razer mice and SteerMouse driver.

you could try zipping it first...

You can enter the size of the text in the 3d text window and it is remebered for the session...

Added info:
The fractional conversion precision you have set in SU will affect what SU shows in say the entity info dialog. Take your 21 9/16, enter as decimal 21.5625 and set precision at 1/16, entity info reports 21 9/16, but set to say 1/2 and it will report with a different number with tilda showing only approximation. That precision basically controls the size of the denominator so you no not get cases where you have ie 100 /500 which would be use less to user. ( reason you can only set up to 1/64) If you see a case with the tilda you want to increase precision. For what you are trying to do I would never use that format
I am more convinced part of the issue maybe you are violating the interface to the printer, the manual gives specs . BTW the maintenance manual is on thier site. I would have both near by! The print heads are basically same as in many small format printers. It converts the post script to raster via the included RPI I mention above and prints as raster so you need to make sure you have the correct inter face. When you feed it raster and the printer expects vector ?? Note there are also windows and auto CAD drivers what are you using?

Drink one for me.

Glad you got it going. I was between work and home so missed the opportunity to suggest you look for any caches or Plists and delete them before installing. Oh well, onward!

Sorry Joe.

My answer is, it depends. I mostly use the Classic Bezier Spline. It seems to do what I need for most curves.

Update on using the Surface.

Still hate their stupid commercials -among those that spoil what little TV I watch.

Works great with the HDMI connection on large screen TV and monitor. Excellent companion to a small Epson projector I recently bought. All wireless operation makes it easy. Mouse works with the surface for good navigation. We have used the combination for several small Powerpoint presentations. Tomorrow will give it the first big test to promote a project at a Economic Development Board in nearby town. Will be projecting still renderings and animation. Hope it impresses the board.

That seems to work. Thanks again.

Hi and welcome. 😄
