Contour Labeling

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am trying to apply contour labeling to a surface that I have created. This surface was created using a point group. When I try to apply the contour label to the contour, I am given the prompt to select a contour, but when I click, nothing appears. Here is the command prompt:

Command: ADDCONTOURLABELINGSINGLE
Select a surface <or press enter key to select from list>:
Surface:  Clay Thickness
Select contour line:  <Osnap off>
Select contour line:
Select contour line:

Please tell me what could be the issue.

Thanks in advance,

Dustin

I discovered that the the default contour labeling layer was turn off. When I turned this layer on, the contour labels appeared as random black lines. Instead, I want my contour labels to be numbers.

Good you discovered the layer. examine the contour label style in use to verify it has the component you seek on a layer that shows

The problem is that the label dose not intersect any contour line. See snap.png

Try to change snap to on and ensure the contour label line intersects a contour.

Also check tat you are displaying majors and minor contour labels See cons.png.

Just drag the line until it intersects.  There is no snapping.
