HI Guys. I have finally found the answer. The problem was the ACtiveX control on my PC. I went to internet options, security and reset all defaults. That didn't work. Then I ran a fix: Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Expand the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\ In Zones there is a folder "L" with 2 keys in. Deleted the folder and everything started working again. It is apparently a bug in the Adobe Flash download, but we are up and running again. Thanks for all your help. Dave, don't forget my Sheet sizes now, hey.....!!! 😄

RodWall, thank you very much!!!! great solution!!!!!!! 😍

If the plugin doesn't run, there are two likely problems. Either it isn't installed correctly or you haven't got IE installed. If you want to try to use it, let me know by PM and I'll help. As to board dimensions--I assume you are referring to sheet materials--there may be an option we can try. If you've already given up on it, I won't bother.

Thanks Chris.

simply: yes

You can do that with nearly all tools in Sketchup. Try it for the move tool: Select an object, move it while holding down ie. the left arrow key. After dropping it, type in "2m", enter, and then "5x", enter.
