Text Font Size Issues in LAYOUT

Hello,

I’m experiencing two problems with text formatting in SketchUp LAYOUT that I hope someone can help me resolve.

Problem 1: Text Box Size Changes When Copying/Duplicating

When I copy or duplicate a text box, the font size changes automatically to the default size without any warning or notification. The same issue occurs when I try to edit existing text. The original font size is not preserved in either operation.

Problem 2: Text Size Dialog Box Limitation

In the text size dialog box, I cannot manually type in a custom font size value. The dialog only allows me to select from predefined sizes listed in the dropdown menu. This prevents me from using specific custom font sizes that I need for my project.

I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions to resolve these issues.

Thank you for your help!

Which version of SKP are you using? I found this happened on the first release of 26 but it seems to be fixed in the latest version 26.1something.

Also please update your forum profile - I assume you are not using 2024 otherwise we are hearing about this 2 years too late.

ver 2026

Try updating to version 2026.1
