Zone area enlargement

[Anonymous]

Every time I try to enlarge my zone the area doesn t change.How do I make the area to change every time I change the shape of a zone?

[Anonymous]

Select Zone(s), menu Design/Update Zones.../Update Selected Zones

In the settings of the zone (zone stamp/order) you have probably used the Calculated Area. This option needs to be updated as andro55 said. The option Measured area does not need to be updated,

It was understandable years ago with slow computers why updates had to be manually made via a menu command. But, the idea of having non-live data is not acceptable with today's hardware IMHO. There is also the consistency issue - drawings can be set to auto-update or manual update - but can be forced to update via Drawing manager. Zones are orphaned from the normal update processes.
