For general information on the use of polyline followers and operational
settings, see 

 (page 217).

After completing a contour, ProdNameShort prompts you to enter an elevation,
depending on the settings you have specified on the VTools Follower tab of
the Raster Design Options dialog box. These settings also allow you to
automatically increment the elevation value. For more information, see 

 (page 270).

The Contours tab of the Vector Separation Options dialog box allows you to
assign layer and polyline widths to 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 value to 50, the resulting vector contour would
be assigned to the major layer. Likewise, if you traced a contour and set the
elevation value to 40, the resulting vector would be assigned to the minor
layer. For more information, see 

 (page 249).
