Hi Miss Lu,

Yes you can. In the Plan View display control window there is a Contour: Change 
button.
This brings up the Contour Properties Editor. There is a "Dashed" checkbox. 
Turn that on.
That dashes the lines below the "Base" value which you can change in the dialog 
as well.

Its not the label that you change but rather you change the range to include 0.
In the gui under Color Table hit the button that shows the color table name to 
bring
up a menu. Choose "Change Range"
