contour labels

[rmk]

I have annotated the contours.
now when i open the dwg. the only thing showing is a line where the elevation used to be.
it's like they disappeared.

any idea whats happening? I have saved, closed and reopened the dwg. still not visible.

Hi check you annotation scale, they scale automatically. Then check you layer control. if the line is there they are there unless they got exploded.

Toolspace → Settings tab → Surface → Label Styles → Contour → double-click your current style and see what Layer the Label is on.
Make sure the layer is on and thawed.

all layers are on and thawed. strange thing is, if you select on of the tics, right click and select similar to pick all of them, delete them.
then without changing any settings, label contours again, the elevation shows up.

Surface DReffed in? anything change in the surface (like the name?) Labels get moved off the contour lines?

I don't think annotation scale comes into play anywhere for c3d labels.... Their 'automagic label resizing' was put out before vanilla was annotative, and the c3d devs have not touched it since

not sure what DRef is, but i don't think so. no changes in surface or name. labels weren't dragged off, it's really strange.

Could you possible post the drawing?

Sorry Iceberg, management won't allow it.

DRef == data referencing shortcut/ Fer example, I build my surface in a surface drawing, but only apply labeling in the sheet files. I'll datareference in the surface, with the style I need for that sheet (minor contours at 1', major at 5' for some sheets, minor contours at 0.5', index at 2' for other sheets)

that lets me adjust both surface display, and labeling location for each sheets needs.

Downside is that if the surface gets substantially revamped in the surface file, occasionally a label in the sheet file will lose its mind, and end up shown as the label line you described seeing.

I may be way out in left field, but would the "Level of Detail" setting have anything to do with this?
