Layer naming for Minor and Major Contours

[GregSullivan1]

Hello,

I created a shapefile of contours from a USGS DEM. I created a column in the attribute table called "layer" as a string so I can export to cad with the data on specific layers. I want all the 5 foot contours to be on the major contour layer and the rest to be on the minor contour layer. Does anyone have and help for how to do this?

I would recommend the Contour with Barriers tool to specify the option to generate index contours.  This will add a field to the contour file.  Then you can actually see the fields with the different contours.
