ORD Contour Text Orientation and how to remove the m in the Contour Text

Mark:  You are right again.  The terrain is in a reference file and the 'm' problem is solved.

The text orientation is still an ongoing problem. 

Thank you

David, first, maybe it IS your eyesight. ; )

...but changing the Master Unit Label most definitely changes mine. Are you working in the Terrain DGN as you are doing this? Or is it a Reference File? If it's in a Reference File then the change to the Label has to be done there.

MaryB, your suggestion will work for SS2 as you can select text elements. Contours in ORD are displayed as configured by a template, as such search and replace is not an option.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Mark:

   Your answer for the text orientation has another control that has to do with readability. I haven't found it yet, I tried your solution, but it doesn't work for me.

 The 'm' is also somewhere else as it appears in all metric distances in the Element Templates.  I changed it to 'AB' in Design File Settings / Working Units / Master Unit Label but it still displays as an 'm'

I am still looking for a solution. 

I do wish that for labeling we could set unit format/prefix/suffix independently.

There is a workaround for getting rid of the " m" if you really need to; it works best if you are labeling contours at intervals that end in the same number. You can use the Microstation Find/Replace Text Tool to Replace "0 m" with just "0". It isn't glamorous, but it would get the job done.
