Color Contours by Elevation
Function
This command sets the color of the selected
contour polylines and text based on elevation. The color to use is
defined in elevation range table.
- Auto - This button opens
the following dialog, allowing for automatic configuration of the range
of elevations and colors.
- Starting
Zone # - Sets the zone
with which to begin the application of the settings defined in this
dialog. For Instance, if the Starting Zone was set to 10, the
settings definitions applied here wouldn't affect Zones 1-9, but would
start at Zone 10.
- Set Values - Enables
the
Starting Value and Value Interval fields, which allow the user to
specify the starting elevation for the given zone and set the zone
increment.
- Starting Value - Sets
the starting elevation value for the first zone.
- Value Interval - Sets
the
elevation increment for subsequent zones.
- Set Colors - Enables
the
Starting Color and Color Increment fields.
- Starting Color # - Sets
the
starting color number, based on the AutoCAD standard color chart.
- Color Increment - Sets
the
color number to increase for subsequent zones. So if the
increment was set to 5, and the starting color was 60, the next color
would be 65, 70, and so on.

Pattern, Scale, and Layer options do not apply to this command.
