hi all, i've had some success running sketchup 7 on linux mint 8 using wine. i'm experiencing some odd behaviour with plugins, however. on my pc, i loaded dim_angle.rb into my plugins folder and it runs fine. i tried the same thing on my netbook using the same software, and the plugin does not load. instead, i get the message, 'Error Loading File dim_angle.rb
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/dim_angle.rb:2: syntax error

require 'sketchupclass DimAngleTool' my knowledge of ruby is almost nil, but , this being the case, could anyone venture a guess as to why i am experiencing this difficulty on only one computer? or, better yet, i'd love some insight into the4 mechanics of locating syntax errors. thank you, bob eback

i think the video card demonstrated the largest difference in performance, but my feeling is that win 7 is MUCH more stable than vista, and considerably faster. btw i did a clean install and it took not much more than 1 hour to accomplish robsc

hi, all; I've just had good luck installing windows 7 on my computerputer and installing an Nvidia 9500 gt card. SU runs swell now, and I'd like to add my data to the aforementioned hardware survey. Unfortunately Windows7 beta is not one of the operating systems listed in the drop-down. Would the suthor please care to expand this menu so that i might further share this info? thanks, robsc
