Create Contour Text (Line Ends)

Create text objects to label the heights of contour lines at both ends of the contour line.

Home / Tools / Create / Text / Contour / Line Ends

Terrain module

The following controls are available:

• Click OK to create text on the selected contour lines.
• The End Offset is applied in a negative direction from the start of the line and a positive direction from the end of the line.
• Press and hold Alt then select All / Major Contour Lines or All / Minor Contour Lines to select contours on the active layers.
• Create text so that it is readable either in the uphill direction or the south/east direction using the Uphill text orientation setting in the text styles position settings.
• Contour text is rotated based on the direction of the line.
• The text alignment is automatically configured for contour text created at either end of contour line.
• Text is inserted at the height of the contour.
• You can use the text styles display settings to create text with a background colour the same as the project background. This gives the give the effect of the line being clipped to the text without altering the length of the line.
