Click two points in the drawing that stretch across several contours.
Contour labels appear where contours fall between the two points
you've selected (see Figure 4.19). You've actually drawn an invisible
line that intersects with the contours.

Press Esc to clear the previous command, and then click one of the
newly created labels.
Notice the line that appears. Click one of the grips, and move it to
a new location to change the location of the line. The contour labels
go where the line goes, even if you stretch it out and cause it to cross
through more contours, in which case it will create more labels.
