Dimension text partially missing. Specifically, it is text after a space in auto-generated dimensions (<>). Some dimensions always, some others in the same document never. Re-doing the broken ones does not fix it.
I have hundreds of dimensions in a regular document, so
is there a way to correct all faulty dimensions at once ? (EDIT: View>Render models in document shakes things up enough to correct all dimensions display, however, this only works until the document is saved and opened again, and also, I’d rather not have to tell my client this every time they freak out about my supposed sloppy work)
is there a way to avoid this nasty bug ?
Here is a test project with Sketchup and Layout files:
I got the bad one.
The workaround is to Select All (cmd-A), any arrow key one step, arrow key one step back.
We are working on an issue related to this. I’ll test it with that version to see if it catches this case.
Yes, as does the mentioned View>Render models in document. However, none of these actually fix the underlying problem and it will pop up again next time the document is opened, so I can’t give it to a client.
Copying Style between working dimensions and non working ones does not fix it
Duplicating a page in the same document does not fix it
Copying page content to a new document does not fix it
Re-installing Sketchup or Layout does not fix it
At this time, I’m stopped dead in my tracks with deadlines approaching, so if this new version fixes this, will this version be released not ‘very soon’ but ‘immediately’ ?
I just tried this: note that your dimensions are right justified. Selected all dimensions in your page, then in the Dimensions Panel, left justify, then center justify them. I’ll file a bug and see why this is happening. Thnx for posting this.
If you read the thread from the top, my problem is not how to make the missing text show up, there may be a dozen ways to do that. My problem is that after closing and reopening the document the text is missing again. My client is furious about that.
If I switch from classic to the “new and improved” graphics engine (which claims to be worse, which is true, I get jagged lines now), the text is still missing.
If they need LayOut to look better, make sure that in Document Setup, you’ve set Rendering->Display to high. It’s not by default.
From our side: we need to continue to decrease the document to final product differences. I’m sure this thread will help in that discussion to do better. Thanks.
I meant to imply that the missing text does not show in the export. It is still missing. But anyway, how, for instance, could anyone proofread a 50 pages document when half of the dimensions are faulty. I’m not going to teach my client how to work around bugs in Layout.
