Topic: Controlling drawing tip displays in viewports containing alignments, profiles, and sections

Written by: Rob Wiederman, Civil Engineer

Date: December 31, 2008

Did you know that when you position the mouse cursor over an alignment, profile or section view, a temporary

line is drawn in a corresponding view of a horizontal alignment or profile? The drawing tips give us a better

method of tracking our location both vertically and horizontally in model space viewports for design purposes.

Notice I place my cursor in the section view. A temporary line is drawn in the profile and alignment views at that

specific station.

The following three commands typed at the command line control the visibility of drawing tips:

Hidedrawingtips – turns drawing tips off completely

Showdrawingtips – turns drawing tips on for the current viewport only

Showdrawingtipsfull – turns drawing tips on for all viewports
