Rough or flat areas can create many tiny isolated contours that
do not meet cartographic standards or are not pleasing to the viewer's
eye. You may specify the shortest distance a contour can be in order
for it to be displayed on the screen.
The distance can be specified in inches (i.e., screen units) or map
units. By default inches or screen units are used which dynamically
eliminates contours as the map is zoomed in and out. Using map units
is useful when printing or when the you wish to freeze the shortest
contour distance as the map is zoomed in and out.
1. Open the Contour Property Page by selecting the Properties
button 
on the LP360 toolbar, then click the Symbology tab,
the Contours tab, and the General
tab. This is the order of the nested tabs.
2. Input a distance to represent the shortest allowable contour
to display.
3. Click the down arrow in the units box to select whether the specified
distance is in screen units or map units.
