To adjust Zones to your updated design and recalculate the Zone area:

Go to Design > Update Zones. This dialog lists the Zones in your project. Selecting a Zone in the list selects it in the project, and vice versa.

If any Zone is selected, click Update Selected Zones.

If none is selected, click Update All Zones.

Successfully updated Zones are shown with a checkmark, with the added (or subtracted) zone area resulting from the update.

If the Zone was created manually it cannot be automatically updated. The layer on which the Zone resides is locked. Unlock the layer in the Layer Settings dialog box and repeat the update process.

• Turn ‘Trace & Reference’ on from any View Map or Layout Book you wish where you want to copy an item/object.
