I just hope Google did some work on LayOut as well!

I've always found that if I set the line weight to 0.25 in the Styles window, and then under document setup, set the DPI output to 300, PDF's of my LayOuts come out looking fine -although it takes an eternity for the computer to create the pdf file.

I don't mind paying as long as the program is fixed and supported - neither of which is currently happening. Heck, I'd settle for some small indication that the program is even on Google's radar.

What ever happened to Jim Holman anyway [and the rest of the original SU crew for that matter - do you think any are still with GoogleSU?]??

I've been working with SU since version 1.3 - early 2003, and I must say that I am concerned about the direction the program is headed. If find that I still use the program everyday, but that I seldom use any feature/tool that post-dates version 4. My experience and feeling is similar to Phil Radar (see above).

As for some interesting history, some of the old folks may remember a program called UpFront from Alias software which I believe was the precursor to SU. Now there is a relic - but one that showed the promise of 3-D sketching on a computer for us non-techies.

I wish for an updated version of LayOut that actually works without crashing and the output can be controlled like a normal program.
