Zone stamp won't display correctly

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:19:28 GMT

Hi all
Does anyone know how to get the zone stamp to display correctly? After crashing and then restarting, all of the zone stamps have changed to show Room#, finishes, different text, etc... when all I want is a Room label and area. The Zone tool and categories settings seem to indicate that everything is set correctly. Suggestions? Thanks

Select all, set the parameters as you like.

mmm...Perhaps i should have explained better. I've tried that along with changing the settings in the zone categories to no effect. I've tried copying/pasting the zones, modifying their shape etc... but nothing changes the stamp back to what it is actually showing in the Settings dialog box (which is want I want it to show). I can't seem to get around it without re-tracing all the zones - which is a lot.

Exactly what Zone Stamp are you using?

Just the standard Zone Identifier 11.

Hello
If anyone has any other suggestions, I would much appreciate hearing them.
I'd just like to add that even if I change the zone settings in the dialog box, it is refused and the zone stamp incorrectly stays the same, i.e. as though it is locked but otherwise deletable...
Thanks

What are the default settings in your Zone Categories dialog? Perhaps the Zone Stamp parameters are reverting to these (although they shouldn't!) -- these settings are the default when placing a new stamp.

Only suggestion I can make is to try another Zone Stamp; perhaps there's something wrong with the object itself.

I created a new zone category with the correct settings. Changing all the zones in the 3D window to the new category made the zone stamps appear correctly in one step.
Thank you Laura!!
