Text Displays With Hyperlink?

We use a construction document (CONDOC) routine that attaches a hyperlink to
each condoc number as it is placed. The hyperlink contains a description of
the related CONDOC. My colleague's machines display the "Text to disply"
content in the link on a mouseover while mine does not. I have both
"Display hiperlink cursor and shortcut menu" and "Disply hyperlink tooltip"
options checked in my User Preferences.

Any idea why the text would not show up on my display?

Thank You,

Mike

 

Mike,

Not being familiar with your CONDOC routine...

Are your objects (with the hyperlinks) on the DEFPOINTS layer and LAYER0
frozen?

Tracy,

We have an Auto Layering system developed in-house that generates the
correct (or at least consistent in our office) layer based on the AIA layer
naming convention. Our CONDOCs are automatically placed on A-ANNO-NOTE
layer by default. The guy who programmed the hyperlink feature was out of
the country but was able to reply to inform me of the mouseover issue. In
addition to the two items in my original post, I needed to have "Display
Autosnap Tooltip" (not to be confused with Display Auto Track Tooltip)
checked under Options/Drafting. The text now appears.

Thanks,

Mike,

 

Thank you the details on your process, but more importantly thank you for
posting your solution for others to read/share. Unfortunitly there is no
System Variable for some of these settings.
