It must be the medication, but I just can't remember something I learned in the last couple weeks regarding contour label intervals. I've been using C3d 2013 for about a year now and had used LDD 2004 until the upgrade. I've become pretty comfortable with the styles based implementation now but this is stumping me... again.
What exactly controls the numeric value shown in a contour label? I've got them looking fine on my site. I imported my styles and settings to a coworkers site but for the life of me I cannot remember what I had to change to get the contour labels to show increments of 1 foot (they were showing fractions of a foot)… Oooohhh! Thank you for the discussion, lol! Now I remember! Typing the word "fractions" triggered my recall. The problem and solution was in the drawing units.(Inches vs feet).
I can't tell you how much time I spent looking through the style settings in search of the one setting I was missing... both times! One of the best ways to push things from short term memory into long term memory is "Increased active practice". Maybe this exercise will put it there for me.
One thing I learned this time: The style settings are not always the source of the problem. It could be something very basic. It may save time to check the basics first.
(So, why post this if I already have the solution? Somebody else may struggle with this like I did. Heck, maybe I'll need to remember this yet again.)
