hi, thx for the reply. I changed Length unit from m to cm in Calc.Units&Rules in project preferences and it did it.

It might depend on the zone stamp you are using.
If it is not a parameter in the zone stamp settings, then it is probably using the current dimension style (styles are as set in Project Preferences > Dimensions).

That was going to be my next suggestion.
I was just about to check with a newer version zone stamp.
I only had an old one loaded and it uses the dimension styles.
Glad you got it sorted.

I have the same problem, but the matter is that if I change the units into meters from Calculation Units & Rules...it also changes in my Schedules (for example with the Skin Thickness parameter) where I want them in centimeters. The setting dose not seem to get stored with the views, so how should I handle this?
Thank you
