So this is now official where I'll come with my SU gripes. Danged
cheerleaders here need waking up. I picked up a little book on modeling a
wooden sailboat. But it had little scale drawings you were supposed to
trace, and doesn't have offset tables and line drawings. No problem. I
scanned them and figured I would just trace them in SU, and make clean
prints with fine lines I can cut. Damned if it doesn't meltdown and exit
to the desktop every 3 minutes. I'm giving up. POS. My weekend has not
been a relaxing one so far.





For what it is worth I just imported a jpg image of a customers back yard
and I tried using the straight line tool to trace the windows and the
freehand tool to trace the curvy plastic lawn chairs. No problems.


I am going to have to say that this is the first time I have heard of this
problem. I would suggest looking into a forum to see if any one else is
having this problem and specifically what kind of computer they are using.
Or reboot and see if that solves your problem.

I know that some CAD programs like AutoCAD have specific processor brand
requirements/suggestions. Perhaps your computer is not totally suited for
this particular piece of software.
