Close Contour Labels - Issue

Hello.  I'm relatively new to C3D (since my new job began in January), so please don't make fun of me if this is a simple question... Smiley Happy

 

I labeled a few contours by

"Add Labels -> Contour - Single"

 

My contours are pretty close together at the point I need to have them labeled.  Even though it is a "single" contour, it is showing the label for the contour next to it as well.

 

Here is an example:

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

When you select a contour label you should see a short blue line, anything this line crosses is labeled. A single label is just a default length short line whereas a multi label is this same line just stretched at a defined length. So if you shorten this already short line, only the contour you want will be labeled.

Hi I'm having the same problem.  How do you shorten the blue line???

When you select the contour label, the grip points for the line will be highlighted. Simply drag the grips to shorten the line.
