@dave r said: @tgm said: What does the change in UI on v2017 have to do with the dynamic components on v2016? They changed the way the web dialogs work. they now use the embedded Chromium. This impacts the web dialogs for SU2016, too. They changed this partly because too many users failed to keep IE up to date and the web dialogs wouldn't work. @tgm said: I should be able to run each program independently of each other, correct? Mostly but not entirely. Just update SU Dynamic Component through the Extension Warehouse and it'll be OK.

Thanks guys, that worked just fine. Great forum, Tom in PA

Pilou == Frenchie so he uses obscure names like 'Eclate-Deplace' which means something lie 'explode-move'

I believe that SketchUp exports images at the resolution of your monitor, say 72 or 96 dpi (dots per inch). You printer setting may be, say 300 dpi. So the print will be 96/300, or .32 times smaller then what you see on the screen. SketchUp was never designed to export or print scaled drawings. I think it is possible to match a exported image to a printer, but you have to calculate the print (not paper) size in dpi, then export the image at (in my case) 300/96=3.125 times the SketchUp window size. Say my SketchUp display is 1100x900 dpi (you can get this with the print functions), then I must export the image at 1100X3.125 by 900X3.125. SketchUp has some export limits I do not recall off hand. If all you want to do is print from SketchUp a image as large as you can on your printer, set the printer properties to "scale to fit". This will typically be a low resolution image. To get around that, export a large image to a file, open the file with the default viewer, and print "scale to fit". In any case, always print with a preview, that way you can see if the result is what you want.

i figured out what might be your problem.. if i try to print a vector image, x-ray won't work... i'm not sure how to access this on windows but i'll show it on a mac.. [image: c1cJ_screen4.jpg] [image: 9laL_screen3.jpg]

Hi folks. Another workaround is : 1 - Group the welded curves to avoid damaging them with additional geometries. 2 - Add an edge between the two points where you want to attach a dimension line. 3 - Add the dimension using either the edge or its endpoint. 4 - Delete the edge, keeping only the dimension. 5 - If required, explode the group. Just ideas.
