      If a user turns off the contour legend by right-clicking on the contour bar and unchecking “Display Contours”, it cannot be turned on the same way because the contour bar has disappeared, so there is no way to right click on it again and check “Display Contours”. Utility Menu > PlotCtrls > Reset Plot Ctrls (/RESET command) will reset the display specifications to the default and bring back the contour bar.
