Brad,
In order to keep compatibility with the previos stamps (so you can convert the stamps without loss of formatting), the style settings in the Zone Stamp 01 are as follows:
- Size of the Zone Name is always driven by the Stamp Text Style panel
- Style of the Zone Name is by default also driven by the Stamp Text Style, however you seem to have the Override Style of the Zone Name checkbox turned on; in this case, other style parameters are set below
- Style of other rows is always driven by the Stamp Text Style panel, except for Size and Alignment
- Size and Alignment of all other rows are driven by the four groups under Text Settings by Scale. If you have the entire Stamp set to Uniform (on the first page), then you'll have to adjust the Uniform size and alignment. If you use the Scale Sensitive option, you'll have to adjust the other three values based on which sizes you want in which scale.
Not the easiest UI that's for sure, but allows a lot of customization for the different scales even.
About the settings in the Zone Categories:
It was freaking misleading, because they practically did not do ANYTHING beside control how the Preview in the Zone Category dialog looked. Even if you set things up in the Category beforehand, switching Categories did not use this setup. So even if you THOUGHT you could configure the Zone Stamp in advance using the Zone Category dialog, actually you had to do that in the Zone Default Settings again in order to work.
There was only one exception to this - if you used different Zone Stamp elements in the different categories - ie. Zone Stamp 01 for Category 1 and Zone Stamp 02 for Category 2 - then, and only then, switching between categories utilized some settings that you've set up in the preview. (parameters that were common among the two Zone Stamps were not affected even in this case).
So in 99% of situations where users actually want to use the same Zone Stamp in all Categories (maybe with different settings, but the same Stamp Object), the data stored in the Zone Category did not do anything; switching categories just kept every Stamp Setting the way it was.
This actually was helpful in cases where you only want the category name and color to change when changing categories, because simply changing the category did not modify the Stamp Settings at all.
Anyway, the function that has been removed did not actually do anything 99% of the time, but caused a lot of confusion, and a lot of wasted work instead (when people spent hours trying to setting up different states for the different categories, only to realize they have to do that again in the Zone Default settings).
The correct, reliable and easier method is to simply use favorites - for each Category you need, set up your Category and the corresponding Zone Stamp once, save it as a favorite, and apply said favorite to similar Zones. (you can apply the favorite selectively, not applying Zone Name and Number using the Element Transfer Settings, if needed).
