The Civil 3D Object tooltips can overwhelm your screen if you have many Civil 3D objects in your drawing.

You can turn Object Tooltips on or off globally in your drawing settings.

Right click on your drawing in the settings tab of your Toolspace and select Edit Drawing Settings. The drawing

settings dialog box will open. Click on the ambient settings tab. Expand the general properties. The fifth property

is Show Tooltips. This property specifies whether tooltips are displayed in the drawing. This setting does not

affect tooltips for toolbar icons.

Another option is controlling tooltips globally by object. Right click on the object in the settings tab of the

Toolspace and select Edit Feature Settings. The Edit Feature Settings dialog box will open. Expand the General

properties. The fifth property is Show Tooltips.
