Disregard my last post Martin. Absolute is Arbitrary but will only allow you to enter so many digits.
Open a new design, edit the G1 girdle, change the index to 360 and make the symmetry 72 and cut, now change the index back to 72. Is that what you were looking for?

yes that looks fine. I only have to find out how to print it out bigger.

I didn't play with it but you may be able to cut a tier of pavilion facets say at 45 degrees, cut a flat table with a small girdle, set the stone color to an opaque white or grey, and try to render with no tilt. Just a thought

well now I can't open Gemcat Studio anymore. I operate Windows 10 and have purcased the licence. I tried to re download but it still will not open. Any ideas, what went wrong ?

This program is AWESOME. Big kudos Rej. On trial right now, but definitely going to pick it up next payday. Took me maybe 10 minutes of toying around with it, and I was able to enter and manipulate the Marquis cut from Intro to Meetpoint Faceting to work better with the Prasiolite I'm cutting.
Is there a way that I'm just not seeing to resize the L/W of your stone while maintaining all of the cuts though? The rough I've got on the stand is 2.0, and looking at my design in GCS, it's 2.2

You can use the edit functions Scale X-Y to change the L/W ratio. It should tangent the design for you and you can tick the Nearest Index if needed.
