Segmented circles..

If you set the line width when you make the circle it will carry over when you contour. saves a step.

Good point, though in my case I was using a contoured circle as my background pattern on another layer and I set my centreless circle to be the size of the middle of the templates outer circle. Then I set the line thickness to match the outer circle size. I then contour my circle to match the bands on my template. This causes the line widths to be changed proportionally to match the reducing contour size as it goes towards the centre, so I then have to pick the centre contour to reset the line size.

I don't think you can avoid doing that because applying the contour results in proportionally sized line widths.

If you change the line size after you contour, the lines with get proportionally smaller.

If you change the line size BEFORE you contour, they stay the same when you contour.

You are absolutely right!
