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

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.
