Are you talking about the Dynamic Input?

I would check variations on the variable states for an option.
DYNPIVIS    -Controls when pointer input is displayed.

DYNPROMPT -Controls display of prompts in Dynamic Input tooltips.

DYNTOOLTIPS -Controls which tooltips are affected by tooltip appearance settings.

TOOLTIPMERGE -Combines drafting tooltips into a single tooltip. The appearance of the merged tooltip is controlled by the settings in the Tooltip Appearance dialog box.

TOOLTIPS -Controls the display of tooltips on toolbars.

No, I was hoping to use the tooltips for my own written tips, i wanted to show some inforation to the user.

I'm not talking about dyn. input.

Thanks, Bernd

Bernd,
What do you plan on using for the tooltip ?

and what sort of information do you want to display ?

[Amsterdammed]

Kerry,

The user needs to move attribs from a few blocks, but they are BOM numbers from valves and pumps and they are drawn by a vertical we use here all over the block itself. So I made an "easy to select” button for my collages. But now 'they don't know to what part that number belongs (if there are more on the same spot, as they are in top view of an installation branch).
So I wanted to show the information of that item (is it the butterfly valve, or the pump and so). I read that out of the block where attrib belongs to. So it is a short string that I want to show while the atrrib is moved.

I hope I did not confuse more than I explained

Thank's Bernd
