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

image\BULLET.gif specify the number of steps

image\BULLET.gif 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:

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

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