ZONE TOOL SUDDENLY INSERTING LABEL WITH LEADER

g r a n t
Enthusiast

Hi, 

Soooooo, suddenly my Archicad 25 is inserting a label with a leader along with my Zone Tool. That is, when using a Zone Tool to define a room boundary and I place the Zone Stamp, a LABEL with the pointer is also inserted. Very bizarre. I tried Model View and turning off the pointer but that does not seem to help. Any thoughts out there? Kind regards, Grant.

Here it is in New Features ...

Archicad 25 Help (graphisoft.com)

 

Then you can follow the link there to 'Place Zone Label Automatically' to take you to the section in the manual about zones.

The one I linked to is the on-line help you get from the HELP menu in Archicad.

This should always be up to date.

 

The HelpCenter one is a website that existed before this new forum took over and maybe is not being updated any more.

The initial release of 25 did not have the new zone stamps - that HelpCenter seems to be showing the original version 25 help - hence no mention of zone stamps.

 

It really should be updated, taken off-line or a big warning to say it is not current.

It seems some old links and searches still find this old HelpCenter.

Other links are redirected here to the new community.

 

When in doubt, go to the HELP menu in Archicad.

In version 25 we are supposed to label zones now and not use the zone stamp which is still there for legacy reasons.

Read this post and that will explain.

Hi Barry. Thanks for the tip. I do remember viewing the Zone Label promotional video by Archicad but forgot about that. I'm having a heck of a time finding how to use the new label feature in the Manual. I can't find it in Archicad 25 New Features. If you have a moment can you point me in the right direction? Kind regards, Grant

Thanks again. I was looking through the manual at helpcenter.graphisoft vs. help.graphisoft. Thus my confusion. This ofcourse makes me wonder what the difference is between the two. Thanks again. G
