## Identifying a Feature by Using Tooltips

PC-DMIS 4.3 and higher provides you with a way to identify a feature without having to turn on feature IDs. Instead, PC-DMIS can display a small tooltip that will appear when you briefly hover your mouse over the feature inside the Graphics Display window. The tooltip will remain visible until you move the mouse off of the tooltip.

Sample Tooltip of a Line Feature

You may find this useful when you have a large part program and you want to keep your feature ID labels turned off to improve performance, yet you still need a way of quickly identifying a feature.

- Clicking on the tooltip will toggle the feature’s ID label in the current view.

- Right-mouse clicking will display a short-cut menu with the same options available when right-clicking on a feature inside Text Box Mode.

Tooltips are not available when PC-DMIS is performing path operations (Animate Path, Edit Path, etc) or when in Quick Fixture mode, or in any mode where the mouse button or keyboard buttons are used at the same time (such as during a Pan, Zoom, or Rotate operation).
