Zone Stamp to display Metric AND Imperial at the same time

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

I am looking for solution for zone stamp with multiple units. I would like to take Imperial (sq feet) AND Metric (m2) dimensions at the same time as well.

So, recently I used a trick of Explode into Current View command when I duplicated the stamps and later I switched the dimesions but I would like to get a smart solution now.

Is that possible using script in the "text" area of Measured Area in case of Zone_stamp_1_15 ? I am not familiar with scripting or GDL programming at all.

Thanks.

I don't have a good solution but it can be done like this.
What you see below is two drawings in the Layout Book. The drawing on top is a transparent fill with units set to display decimal feet. The one with the zone stamp has units set for square meters.

You can select the units to dispay each view in View Settings. To open the View Settings, right click on a view in the Navigator.
