View lighting setting and duration of tag show up question

[Orest_iy]

The acquaintance with new 2012 Inventor gave several tiny but annoying problems.

The lighting settings is not so good as 2011 and requires alterations.

The View - Lighting setting is always turns to Two Light instead of desired Default.

The question is how to permanently set it to desired setting in ALL project?

When I create the new lighting style it is visible only in that file. How to make it visible and set by default in other files?

New 2012 has option of showing the name of part or assembly while cursor stops hovering over the object. Is it any time setting of duration of that option???

It is quite annoying waiting for turning off or shutting down unwanted show up.

It also either work or not work at all. Please advice where is setting for that?

Not sure how to set it as default (I need an answer to that too) but you need to save it to your style library after creation and then hit the update the styles in the files its not showing up in. This process is required anytime you make a change to your style library. (hopefully you are using one..everyone should be.. use style library=yes in your project file)

and just now i experienced the select other tool not working at all. I needed to close and restart Inventor

hmmm

does not help even when all Tooltip appearance are totaly unchecked..

But I found the lighting by default.

Its id in Document Setting on the Standart tab.

Saving changed lighting settings to library is working. I am using this machine alone

select other functionality is NOT related to tool tips.. look to the right of that for select other delay

Yes "Select Other " while in Off voids those tags
