Inserting the TLM Slope Guide element

The TLM Slope Guide surround element is used to show the percentage of slope based on the map scale and contour interval.

Once inserted, double-clicking the TLM Slope Guide allows you to access the TLM Slope Guide Properties. The Update dynamically check box on the TLM Slope Guide tab is checked by default. When this check box is checked, the TLM Slope Guide updates dynamically based on the current map scale and a field in a polygon feature class that contains the contour interval.

Unchecking the Update dynamically check box allows you to specify the scale and contour interval. However, a red box will display in place of the TLM Slope Guide when one of the following occur:

• The scale exceeds 250,000.
• The contour interval exceeds 200.

If the element needs to be altered after it is created, select the element in the layout view and click Convert To Graphics, then click Ungroup to ungroup the elements that were used to create it. Perform the required edits and regroup the elements by clicking Group.

   1. Uncheck the Update dynamically check box.

      The Parameters area becomes available.

   2. Type a scale not to exceed 250,000 in the Scale text box.

      The default value is 50,000.
