Hello,
I've used the fence file to get the contours to a separate file, but they are still part of the terrain.If I drop the terrain, I get the contours, but all the contour text disappears.How do I get contour labels into a basic 2d dgn? Export to dtm and label in native?
Thanks,
Tom F.
What I tried was to attach the terrain in a 2d file, merge it and the labels where merged and the terrain as a cell
The Export to Native is the best approach as you then have the data behind the graphics. Rebuilding a DTM from Contours always results in a less accurate model than having the underlying data - points and breaklines define the surface and contours represent it in a more generalized format.

Hi Marc,
Does this method work in ORD as well?

Hi Mark,
Yes, just tried it again and it works.
Sorry Marc, I don't get the text with that cell on merge in ORD, just contours?
