All of a sudden a note appears when starting SU-2019PRO (translated: cannot start Sketchup due to license Problems!) although I also have the latest Pro version installed, I still use 2019 due to certain issues with my 3Dconnections SpacePilotPro which a cannot get to run on the new versions of SU.
My 2019 Version was working just perfect all the time. All the extensions tuned right to my needs and the workflow just a seamless routine. How is it possible to encounter such a problem. I reinstalled 2019Pro on my machine and still encounter the same error. Is there anyone that can help? Thanks and greetings to all.

Michael

the installation has been without any problems, The graphics card is Nvidia GF T1080. All drivers are up to date!
Are You suggesting that there is a path missing in the pre settings?

Since SU2019 Pro the really rare BugSplashs of previous versions have become more often. There is always some reason why and most often it is an exeeding load factor of some kind. What really bothers me is that although settings provide 15 Min between save-mode there is no such file as AutoSave anymore to be found. Not on either volume that I work with. I very well notice the interruption of the work flow when it saves the file in the background between the set time lapses. But where and how ist the file saved? After a few hours of work that is a really frustrating to discover. The windows system provides alot of search modes. I have searched the whole system for *.tmp save Auto, recent skp and more. Well nothing that would suggest a recovery file. Since I work on a system with german language I am not sure if you can provide any help with the shown paths on the preference-settings. I remember vague the possible setting for the placement of AutoSave files. No such thing anymore. How do you set the path for that? Strange by all means is that sometimes the relaunch of the original .skp will provide an offer to jump to the newer file on the system which must be the saved version. But more often it wont provide this option. I feel very very uncomfartable with this uncertainty and it already pushes me into a crash anticipation mode when working on heavy files.
I would really appreciatate any help here.

Hi Anton,
I certainly got captured on my desktop rather than fetching Easter Eggs with the kids during the holidays. I can only express my admiration to your work. So fine done! Thanks so much!

When you installed SketchUp 2018, did you right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator? Or did you just double click on it to get it to run? If you didn't use Run as administrator from the right click Context menu, SketchUp isn't installed correctly and all sorts of weird things can happen.

I run this PC on WIN7 SP2 and always install as Admin. I must also admit that since I installed SU2018 this is the very first issue that I encountered without having a decent explanation. Most of the little'Bugs' are self constructed and I usually find out why soon enough. With some you just cant help, because they seem to be related to plugins.

We have a saying ofer here going: Never value the Teeths of a horse givin to you for free!

If I should encounter this little mishap more often I will report it.

Thanks alot

Michael

The section tool rotates the same way in 2018 as it has always done.
Perhaps if you show us where you are having an issue we can show you what is wrong.

I have rebooted the Workstation and it is working fine now. I will probably never find out, what the heck it caused to misfunction this way. I am glad anyway!
Thanks for the reply!

Michael

After installing SU18 I was pleased with the new feature Filling Section Cut areas. But then I tried to turn a section in order to align it to the geometry of the building. I cannot get it working with ordinary tools. Is there a workaround? It worked fine in SU17 by the way.

Glad for any reply

Michael

It's not a bug.

The 'Make Component' tool actually has a default shortcut preset - G.
But before it appears in the Preferences > Shortcuts dialog's filtered list, you must have something[s] preselected that could actually be made into a component, you must make the selection prior to opening that dialog...

This occurs in many situations - e.g. if you want to make a shortcut to Reverse faces or to Orient faces, then these will only appear in the filtered list if a face or faces are preselected...

Now this is rather awesome! But thanks so much, cause it works. It never occured to me with other shortcuts and I really have many assigned. Sometimes U just have to ask someone who knows!

Thanks again.

assigned Key just does not work

Hello to All,

I am wondering why I cant set a Key-Assignment to 'Make Component', well I should say the assigned Key just does not work. I am using BILL of Material quite frequently and there U need to have Components in order to have a decent report of the items used in the drawing.
Can anyone give me a hint or do we have a bug right here.

Hello All,
I just lost 3 hrs of work in layout bauaus a crash occured. Relaunching did offer older files but nothing recent enough to help. I checked the box autosave in presets where it should be saving my work every five minutes. Is anyone come along a similar problem or is there a certain sytems folder where such files will be stored?

I would be happy to have a hint here

Thanks

Michael
