Rollover Display

I'm working a model that has nearly a dozen smaller surfaces which will be pasted in different combinations to get three larger surfaces (phases of the project). When I hover, spot elevations for the first two surfaces appear, a few seconds later elevations for four more. But is there a way to expand this to show ALL surface elevations? I have no idea how Acad chooses which to display, and (Murphy's Law), it ALWAYS leaves out one of the surfaces I need at the moment.

 

Suggestions appreciated...

Hi,

 

I didn't got your question exactly. If you use 'surface lables' for spot levels, it will ask you for 'Select Surface' in advance. then it will give you only level for that surface. (it doesn't matter which surface are overlapping at spot level point)

Even if you use 'Iine and curve' lables, it will do the same.

I think there's a limit but I don't remember what it is. Make sure that Tooltips are turned on for each surface.

I found this limit "If you keep your cursor in the same location, additional information is displayed in an expanded tooltip that shows up to four more items" HERE.

 

So you would have to turn off tooltips for a couple of the Surfaces to see the rest.

This isn't regarding lables, it's just the tooltip box that appears anytime you hover over a surface.

Thanks, I thought there might be a limit. As I said, I have several surfaces and just as many alignments.  I was hoping I could have them all light up, rather than have to keep turning some on and others off every time I'm dealing with a different scenario.

 

Civil on!
