CURSOR notification

mukster — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 23:54:23 GMT

having a slight problem. When you hover your cursor over and object, a little tag usually shows up that tells you what it is. Mine is not showing up Probably just a button that's pushed. Any ideas?

In your Work Environment, you want to 'enable element info tag'.

Kind of works. It works in the work field (main screen), but not in the Design bar

On my computer, it's the command bar on the left of the screen, containing the design, viewpoint, and document commands

Ah, that is the 'Tool Box' palette.

As Ling suggested, 'Show tooltips' will show info for this and all other tool bars.

I've got an old Archicad 16 manual, and it's not called out anywhere. I wasn't sure what to call it. I had to take a year and a half off to get my leg amputated, So I need to catch up as to what things are called
