Lost all Tooltips and Glyphs

[sboon]

I needed to check some vehicle turning movements against my design, so I started Civil 3d from the AutoTurn icon.  As I was working I noticed that I don't have any Tooltips anymore.  I've checked the global tooltip settings in the Civil3d settings, and the Autocad options, and also the tooltip settings for individual objects.  Everything is turned on but no joy.

I also found that the glyphs which should appear when snaps are turned on aren't visible, although the snaps do work properly.  Once I had finished with the vehicle checks I shut down, and then restarted from the Civil3d icon but the behaviour hasn't changed back to normal.  I've also tried repairing the installation - next step will be a full reinstall.

Suggestions anybody ??

I would check noun/verb selection in options before re-installing all.

Selection works fine - just no glyphs or tooltips.

Steve, you prolly tried these but:

opening one of your other Profiles

opening one of your other Workspaces

Exporting the acad portion of the registry of a "working" installation and restore in yours (maybe not?)

Using a text editor that will compare two files of variable settings (your current vs. a "working" installation)

Good luck.

Please go and check the following;

type 'op'

in the option tab select the 'Drafting' tab

make sure under autosnap setting

make sure there are check marks turned on for

Marker

Magnet

Display AutoSnap tooltip

Display AutoSnap aperature box

let me know if that works

And we have a WINNER !!! 

I was sure that it would be something simple, but just couldn't find the right setting to check.

Thanks very much.
