Contour Tool - Steps Field

The Steps field on the Contour Tool Infobar controls the number of intermediate steps used in the currently selected Contour. You can either:

specify the number of steps

or specify the average distance between steps (see Notes).

To change the number or distance between steps, select one of the two options then enter a new value and press RETURN. For more information, see Changing the number of steps in a Contour.

Notes on distance:

If required, Xara LX rounds the distance to give a whole number of steps.

The distance between steps varies if you use a non-linear Position Profile. The value shown is the average distance.
