You mean in the zone stamp I assume. This depends on the specific stamp you are using. Try different ones to see if they will do what you want. No one will be able to answer you more specifically without knowing which stamp you are using.

We don't have that stamp in the US so I can't check it here. I assume you have looked at the stamp's parameter settings. If not, you can check the individual settings in the zone settings dialog. You can also reset the default settings for the zone type in the attribute settings for the zone categories.

If you can't get this stamp to behave you may need to find a different one that works or fix this one in the GDL script editor to work the way you want. I don't recommend the latter choice unless you are fairly familiar with GDL. Even then the code in some of the standard parts can be quite confusing due to the many variables they have due to the wide range of users they serve.

I thought the units for this was set by the 'Length Unit' setting at Options > Project Preferences > Calculation Units...

I don't know why this would change on it's own though?

Cheers,

That is possible depending on how the stamp is scripted.

It shouldn't. I am not sure what is happening in this case though.

Change your working units to meters.
