QPMODE
Controls whether the Quick Properties palette is displayed when objects are
selected.
Rollover Tooltips
Rollover tooltips display the current values of selected properties.
The properties and values that are displayed in a rollover tooltip can be
customized by object type. When customizing the display of the properties
for a rollover tooltip, you can display properties common to all object types
or properties that are specific to an object type. The available properties are
the same as those on the Properties and Quick Properties palettes.
NOTE You can synchronize the properties used for rollover tooltips with those
displayed on the Quick Properties palette.
Display Objects Properties on Rollover Tooltips
When customizing rollover tooltips, you control which object types display
a tooltip when the cursor hovers over an object in the drawing window. You
use the Objects pane to add and remove the object types for which you want
to see a rollover tooltip. Once an object type is listed in the Objects pane, you
can then specify which properties in the Properties pane are displayed on the
rollover tooltip for the selected object type.
You can change the general properties for a selected object type or for all
object types. Selecting an object type from the Objects pane allows you to
control the display of the general and object specific properties for that selected
object type. You can click the General button at the bottom of the Objects
pane to override the general properties of all object types.
When the General button at the bottom of the Objects pane is clicked, a list
of the general properties that can be used to override the properties of all
object types is displayed along with the Reset Overrides button. Select the
general properties that you want to display for all object types and click Reset
Overrides. However, after applying a general property to all object types you
can deselect any general property for a specific object type by selecting the
object type and deselecting the property.
NOTE When an object is not in the Object Type list on the Objects pane, the
general properties that are checked for all object types are displayed on the rollover
tooltips.
