It depends on which zone stamp you are using. If your current one doesn't offer the parameters you need, try another.

Isid,

You're going to love this! Access your element info box, mine is on a hotkey, and all kinds of info regarding selected elements is available. IMHO some of this should be standard info in the info box. I was seriously stoked to find this when Link showed it to me.

With one click now you can tell, for instance how long a wall is! Why we don't have this [Vectorworks standard] available is really beyond me. Measuring all the time is VERY tedious!

thanks jefferson.....looks like you go the ac8 whereas i got the version 7.0 and at this point of time and place ( BC), it is not feasible to upgrade to 8.0.

yes, it is standard in vectorworks object info ....i wish ac could provide somekind of patch or whatever for older version to have such standard features!

Sorry I missed the ver 7 in your signature. For what it's worth the upgrade to 8.1 was well worth it. The ability to navigate,the improved plotmaker, document output, sketch engine....................it really does go on. Perhaps right before 9 comes out the discounts will fly!
