I have been utilizing Sketchup / Layout for several years now to develop architectural models and for permitting plan sets. A couple of things are still causing me some severe headaches.

1. Dashed lines in sketchup- (simply using a dashed line to express a property line) that will translate into Layout. I know there a some existing ways to do this such as exploding the Sketchup model in Layout, copying and pasting the line as a separate model, or tracing the line in Layout and turning the layer off in the sketchup model after it is traced. There has to be a better way?

2. Leader Lines and Call Outs- All I would like is a call out that I can paste in from another Layout drawing without the link between the text and leader breaking. Or a Callout that can be used to point on either side such as the leaders in AutoCad. Does this exist?

Thanks!
