If you do want to make SketchUp usage more bearable and less of 'draw -> space -> rotate tool -> rotate -> space -> box tool -> ....' rince & repeat you might find this gadget very helpful and wrist saving:

I've got the home user basic version and it makes working with the model so much faster and less clicky  Cool

I am wondering if there is a way to relocate the 'placement handle' when pasting a component into a drawing. It seems like whenever I do a paste, I am holding the component from the end making placement rather inconvenient.

Don't know if this what you're looking for, but worth a peek:

swingman, thanks. I had looked into this. Maybe I keep moving the axis to equally useless points although I think i would have picked up on the change. I'll play with it some more
