#SKETCHUP MAKE 17 TRIAL#

Ok, having tried several different options I loaded an older laptop with Sketchup 2016, and added in the plugin for file conversion (which SHOULD work when the 30 day free trial is over, but is inactive now, which disturbs me.) I can now save my previous work as Sketchup 2016 files, import them on the other laptop as skp files, and (currently) export them successfully to Sheetcam in DXF format straight from Sketchup (thank-you all so much for the input and advice! ). Thanks 'Old Iron', to be honest that link is the one that got me started into thinking that Sketchup (alongside Deltacad) was going to be the answer for me (that is why I wasn't worried about the demo licence expiring, just download the plugin and straight back at her, right?:).as it turns out the plugins only run up to either 2015 or 2016 versions of Sketchup, and I tried those and they don't work with 2017 (more accurately then, I can't get them to work with my copy of 2017, maybe others can, maybe it should work.maybe I could write my own plug in, but I'd have no idea where to start, (I'm a sparky, I could wire one ), I just get junk out whichever way I export files, and I have tried every way they offer.) nor can I find any indications that anyone is going to make a plugin for 2017, just that the option to export as DXF is one of the 'pro-features'.Tim I'm hoping you might come up with something that I missed and Larry, I am trying to download the Blender option right now I'll try and keep you updated. I'm kinda still hoping that being tired, cranky and now desperate has made me miss something stupid and obvious and simple, feel free to slap me round the head and show me what it is, please!!!:) I was really hoping to learn and stick with one or two programs, but here we go again!!

#SKETCHUP MAKE 17 SOFTWARE#

Please, if anyone can help me to get my old (and future) skp files into sheetcam (& ultimately Mach3) I would be very grateful.the alternative right now is to change software for 2d drawing, but I need some freehand capability as well as cad (any suggestions). ) I have been working on this and researching for the last 14 hours trying to salvage my work, and so far all the results are only relevant to older versions of Sketchup.

#SKETCHUP MAKE 17 UPGRADE#

I guess I am not going to be the only one to end up here once others upgrade to Sketchup Make 2017 ( which it appears will be just a matter of time. I also tried via one of the vectorizing programs with no better success. I've tried the plug ins (Ruby)they are for older versions of Sketchup too, and the resulting dxf's don't work with sheetcam (if I'm lucky I get a couple of odd lines) I've tried going to Inkscape and exporting as dxf files but have the same (or similar) issues and so far it seems that the conversion files are either on line & / or very expensive.& I don't know if they will work either. Yesterday however I guess my demo expired and I can no longer export in dxf format without spending nearly $700 US to upgrade.(out of the question at this time. I have spent a large chunk of time working on designs in 'sketchup make 2017' (pro demo version) and cut a few pieces with not bad results (which has been great), I have a fairly good silhouette of a cafe racer I drew from scratch which I'm going to fix up and share (well I like it, my first real attempt:). In either case, as wrote, you can uninstall just the problem extension(s) to make SketchUp whole again.Hey guys, please help if you can, sorry for asking again! The extension may simply fail to load during startup (in which case you get a popup telling you so). To your main concern, though, installing an incompatible extension can’t permanently damage your installation of SketchUp.

#SKETCHUP MAKE 17 CODE#

I don’t have time to test them out myself, but I didn’t notice anything in my look at the code that made me think they won’t work in 2017.

#SKETCHUP MAKE 17 UPDATE#

Because the last code version of each of these is dated 2015, I suspect that the authors simply haven’t bothered to update their EW pages (no way to tell whether they have tested against newer versions of SU). The compatibility markings are set by the author of each extension, not by the EW itself or based on independent testing. I took a quick look at those two extensions and I can see nothing in them that tests for SketchUp version, so I conclude this must be a warning from the Extension Manager that they are not marked as compatible with SketchUp 2017 in the EW database.
