Contour Label Line

[darreng_oa]

I have been creating contour surface labels, which utlize a 3-point  countour label line with grips to adjust, and this is my question:

when i create a single contour label, clicking specficially on a contour i want labeled, the countour label line with the 3-grips extends beyond several contours and thus places a label at every contour it touches.  i can manually fix this by shorting the line, but this seems very inefficient. 

1. is there a setting to have the label only placed on the center grip of the three?

thanks

The software makes the label line a tenth of an inch, times the scale at the time the contour label is added.

You can make your scale very small, place the labels, and then put the scale back to normal. The label lines will not change length when the labels update to the larger size.

I don't think there is a setting for this. I do it this way as a workaround.
