    Default Help With Contour Labeling Elevation Precision

    We are using the contour labeling tool to label contours on our new grading surface.
    The tool is nice but the contour label precision is xxx.xx and we label contours xxx.

    I cannot find in the Prospector>Surface>Label Styles>Contour>Proposed Major Labels & Proposed Minor Labels, etc to change the elevation label to even foot.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks
    as

    Edited Contour Style
    Prospector>Surface>Lable Styles>Contour>Proposed Major Labels, etc
    Layout Tab>Text>Contents>Select ...>Precision>1
    However, it is very hard to get these to change from .01 to 1. You have to hilight the text in the preview panel and then change precision....

    I know this is a very old thread, but I'm having an issue changing my precision as well. I tried the suggestion above, to highlight the text before changing the precision, but every time I click OK, it reverts back to .001. I want to drop the zeros and have my contours read 100, 102, 104, etc. instead on 100.000, 102.000, 104.000...

    after highlighting the code in the preview window and changing the precision setting, you have to click the big arrow to send the code over to make the change.
