That approach works great. Thank you for sharing. Now I want to know if there's a unique style or plugin that setup your dimensions for that pin drawing. A style or plugin that helps create the extended guidelines/boxes for measurements and changes the color. I have trouble reading my measurements while in the workshop; maybe a different color and bold-faced text would help.

Thank you, Rich. I just ran a test print with a circle (cylinder) with 128 segments and it worked perfectly. The biggest challenge I had was resizing the object since I need the final cylinder to fit in a 20mm hole (Festool Multi-function Table). Now that I have it working, I will be making some guides for my workbench. If you have any pointers on how to quickly resize my objects down from CM to MM? I have to work in a larger size to allow that many segments.

I am doing some testing to make a woodworking jig and I noticed that the size of a cylinder in Sketchup, ends up printing slightly smaller. I am new to making my own 3D models for printing, so just curious if I should expect this or if there's something I can do to fine-tune my printer. I am using Sketchup Pro 2022, Ender-3 V2 3D Printer, exporting using SLT Export plugin, and slicing using Ultimaker Cura.

The piece I am printing is a cylinder that is 19.70mm in Sketchup and its actual size when printed is 19.61mm. Should I expect to have the print be exact or should I just adjust my expectations?

In advance, thanks for your feedback.
