information next to cursor alignment offset, surface elev, etc

In 2014 Civil 3D when floating anywhere in model space next to crosshairs would pop up info. saying all offsets from all alignments and surface info. Now in 2015 it is only showing a maximum of 2 lines.  Just want to know where I can set that to display more.  I have already looked into dynamic input but that doesnt seem to be the right display for this info.

Each alignment and surface have this option.  In the Alignment Properties, Information tab, check the box for Show Tooltips.  This has to be done for each alignment that you want to see in the tooltip.  Same for surfaces, Surface Properties....

All were already checked.  I have 10 alignments in drawing and multiple design surfaces. it will only show one alignment station and offset on first line, and existing ground elevation on second line.  Prior Civil 3D releases showed many more than two lines.

What about in your Options, Display tab, is Show Extended Tooltips checked?

Also, the initial tooltip (reading the seconds from the Options) only shows 2 lines.  If you leave your cursor there, it should display the rest of them.  You can change the Number of Seconds to Delay to maybe 1 second.

You're welcome.  I like all of mine shown as well.
