Contour Vector Separation Options

These settings are used in vectorization to specify vector line widths for contours based on their elevation interval.

For instance, you might set the elevation interval for major contours to 50, and the elevation interval for minor contours to 10. If you then followed a contour and set the elevation to 200, the resulting vector contour would be assigned to the major layer. Likewise, if you followed a contour and set the elevation value to 220, the resulting vector would be assigned to the minor layer.

Tip: If you are using vector separation to control the layer and polyline width of vectors created from the Contour Follower, it is a good idea to use the same value for the Minor Interval and the Elevation Interval on the VTools Follower tab of the Raster Design Options dialog box.
