Zone stamp location issues

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi there.

I am trying to find a way to batch control zone stamp anchors, instead of moving them individually.
When I copy and mirror automatic zones, their zone stamp move away randomly. I would like to anchor the stamps or restrict their location according to some rules.
I was trying to find a way to select them all and tell them to automatically snap to the centre of their zones once them would have changed, but I can't You have to move them one by one.
It would also be great to be able to align all zone stamps horizontally or vertically for example along a large floorplan, so the sheet layout is better organized.
Suming up, is there any tip or tool I am missing that gives further control on zone stamps?

Thank you everyone.

When updating zones (Design > Update Zones), make sure 'keep zone stamp position if updated' is ticked, or it will try to shift to the 'middle' or something close I believe.

I do not know of a way to mass shift the stamps, however I generally try to keep the hotspot that determines from where the zone should find it's boundary close to the stamp. This allows you to move the whole zone (select multiple) and update them.

Still not as handy as moving the stamps with allign command, but it might speed things up a little bit for you now.
