    • Printing from Cutlist crashes

      I'm having a problem printing to pdf from Cutlist. I've been able to print just fine from Cutlist to pdf previously, but now when I try to print to pdf from Cutlist, it just crashes Sketchup. I can print views directly from SU to pdf just fine, and I can print to paper from Cutlist just fine. Has anybody else had this problem?

      Edit: I'm using Sketchup Pro 2018, and have used it successfully as detailed above for a long time until today.

    • RE: Default stroke weight not "holding"

      Found a solution: I sampled another dimension in a scrapbook I got from someone. That dimension worked as normal. So I stopped there, changed the default text, stroke, etc to what I use and the legs are acting normal again. Back to work...!

      It's 89 MB. I'm guessing it's over limit.

    • RE: Default stroke weight not "holding"

      So I had to go away, came back and rebooted. The stroke line weight is now "sticking" for the dimensioning tool. However, a new problem cropped up. In the attached snip, I grabbed the corners circled in red with the dimension tool, dragged the dimension straight down, and the legs turned out as shown. I've tried re-running the SU install (Run as Admin), and rebooted, and the same problem occurs.Capture.JPG

    • RE: Default stroke weight not "holding"

      Yes, that does work. The stroke weight of 0.5 (the one I sampled) sticks. I may just sample them before dimensioning, though I'm a big keyboard shortcut fan, so I use the D key a lot when I'm switching. (I've got D set for the dimensioning tool, don't remember if that is default or not)

    • RE: Default stroke weight not "holding"

      Cold reboot and the problem is still there. Bummer. Fortunately, I'm putting all my dimensions on their own layer, so it's easy enough to isolate that layer, select them all, and change them all at once. It would be better not to have to do that at all.

    • RE: Default stroke weight not "holding"

      OK, So I reran the sketchup pro installation by clicking Run as Administrator, and I chose Repair. Just tried dimensioning as described before, and it's still doing it (making the stroke weight 1.0 when 0.5 or even 0.6 is selected). Ugh.

    • Default stroke weight not "holding"

      So I have this issue on both the Dimensioning tool and the label tool (text box with leader). I want the default stroke weight to be 0.5. So with either tool, I select the tool, and without doing anything else, I set the stroke weight to 0.5. Then I immediately use the tool. Great, as far as I know, that's how you set the default tool settings. If I come back and select the tool later, the stroke weight does show 0.5 when I go to use it. But after I finish dimensioning, let's say, the strokes looks a heavy...and yes, if I then select those dimensions, the stroke weight is 1.0 and I have to change them to 0.5. Has anybody else seen this, and am I doing something wrong?

    • RE: Imported rtf table column widths all messed up

      Now I remember why I moved away from using excel to do tables in LO. None of the subscript/superscript formatting carries over, and I can't seem to correct that in the layout table.

      Thanks, Dave. The table/excel works. I just hate excel for tables of text, Word is really a better tool for it.
