Visibility/Look Up "grips"

[crawfordscott]

Hi All,

I have a dynamic block with 1 x look up and a visibility parameter.

When I click on the block and the icons appear (in this case triangles) there is no way to tell which is which as they are both represented by the same type of icon (triangle).

This block will eventually have another 2 look ups. So there will be 4 triangles in total with no way to tell which is the one I want other than clicking on them all

So, is there anyway of changing  the icons (I suspect not) or even better, adding a line of descriptive text that would appear next to the icons.

Or have I missed something....

Thanks in anticipation

You cannot change the actual grip, but you can add whatever linework or text you like on a non-plotting layer.

Hi Libbya,

Thanks for that.

Its a pity you cant add a description but hey ho.. you cant have everything.

Thanks again.

You CAN add a description.  That was why I suggested using non-plotting text.  I suggested that because the text could always be visible.  As an alternative, you can select the lookup parameter, go to properties and find the 'Lookup description String' and add whatever description you like.  The description will show up if you hover over the grip.  The description strings can be filled out in properties for ANY parameter.

Hi Libbya,

That's what I'm looking for.

Thanks
