There was a similar bug in the dimension tool where changing the text color didn't affect the text color of the dimension.

Try this workflow:
Create a label.
Select the label.
Make style changes to the label until it's what you like.
Activate the label tool.
Press the "s" key to activate the "style sampler" mode.
Click on the label that you prepared to sample that style into the label tool.

At this point, the label tool should be creating labels with the text color you wanted.

Does the line have the "starting/ending arrowhead" style set to the "overrun" arrowhead? Change the arrowhead settings on that line or set the arrowhead size to 0 pts.

Error 107 indicates that there's an entity in your document that references an external file that is now missing. This could hypothetically happen if you inserted a file, then immediately renamed/moved/deleted that file, then saved the LayOut file - but I can't seem to duplicate the issue that way myself. Are you doing any workflows that involve inserting and then renaming/moving/deleting the original file?

Among other minutia, looks like the library we're using to import .XLS files doesn't properly handle some aspects of locked cells. Thanks for your help identifying the issue, and keep an eye out for maintenance releases.

copy shortcuts.xml from this location:
C:\Users\mdurant\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp 2016\LayOut\shortcuts.xml
to this location:
C:\Users\mdurant\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp 2017\LayOut\shortcuts.xml

Do NOT copy the .plo files, that will crash LayOut.

Yes, I would appreciate any and all files that are causing issues.

Any chance you could share that excel file with the LayOut team for debugging purposes? There may be something specific about your file that's breaking our importer, and we'd love to check it out.

Thanks,
Marc

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.

While you're creating the rectangle, or immediately after creating it, use the arrow keys - up & down - to change the curvature.

There's no way to make rounded-corner polygons other than drawing them by hand as Richard suggests.

Hi Stan-

Thanks for mentioning this issue - error 101 occurs when there's a LayOut group with only one entity in it. It's an internal sort of error that we don't really ever want to display to someone using LayOut. I will file a bug in our tracking system to investigate this issue.

If you find a way to consistently cause this error, please share the SketchUp model and your exact work steps with us so we can make sure that your particular case is handled by our fix.

Thanks,
Marc
