Release Notes – Google SketchUp 6 for Windows - Maintenance Release 2
SketchUp issues fixed in SU6 Maintenance Release 2:
* When exporting to image formats/animations or printing models, it previously was possible for textures to appear distorted. This issue has been fixed.
* Previously, printing to PDF could cause banding and the disappearance of faces or edges. This issue should no longer occur.
* When exporting to image formats with high resolutions, the export could fail with a "failed to save file" error much sooner than expected. This issue has been fixed.
* In certain cases, exporting to 2D formats – images and Epix – could result in the disappearance of edges. This issue should no longer occur.
* Previously, when canceling the import of a DWG, SketchUp could hang.This issue has been fixed. Note: If the DWG import is big and one waitsa long time before canceling, it may take a long time for the cancel tocomplete.
* When importing a DWG file with extremely large coordinates, SketchUppreviously would appear to import nothing. If the user then selectedall geometry and copied/pasted it, SketchUp could crash. This crash hasbeen addressed.
* When starting up SketchUp, it was possible for SketchUp to crash ifthe "check for needed update" data became corrupt. This crash has beenfixed. [view full changelog]
