here are some captures that might help

1.) Create a different Contour label style for your 1"=30' viewport and
change the layer. On the 1"=60' change the contour label style to what you
want. (.005" or whatever) Do the same to the 1"=30'. (0.1" or whatever)
Viewport freeze the ones you don't want to show up.
Yes, this is double work, as you label the contours multiple times.
OR..(provided the blown up areas are not on your overall sheet)... change
the settings for the 1"=60' print, print out that sheet, then change the
settings to the contour label style to 0.10" for your 1"=30' and print that
out.
2.) Check your plotter drivers. That is usually the cause of the
background mask not working properly. We had that same problem with our OCE
TDS400. I've read several other plotter driver problems on these boards as
well. Once we called the OCE people to give us new drivers... the masking
is working nicely!!!
Hope this helps!
