Design Tooltip Expression

Tooltip expressions are used to identify display objects in the Animation Window and the Design Window.

Tooltips shown in the Animation Window are somewhat separate from tootips shown in the Design Window. When you create tooltips for the Animation Window and the Design Window, the Expression Editor will allow access to different things: Scenario information for Animation and Layer information for Design.

Animation tooltips deal with Source solids and Destination solids and are used to identify Source and Destination locations in your Scenario.

Design tooltips deal with the data you have loaded in the Design Window.The following options are available on the Design right-click menu in the Project Explorer, or when you right click on a layer or node in the Design Data pane:

  • Select Design Tooltip Expression | Set to create or edit a tooltip expression for the design elements you have loaded. You can also select the same option when you right-click on a layer in the Design Data pane.

  • Select Design Tooltip Expression | Clear to clear the tooltip expressions that are set for the design elements you have loaded. You can also select the same option when you right-click on a layer in the Design Data pane.

  • Select Design Tooltip Expression | Bulk Edit to edit tooltip expressions in bulk, for multiple layers. You can also select the same option when you right-click on a layer in the Design Data pane.
