    - Show XFM Properties on tool tips (MDL)

    This MDL application is for V8i only.

    XFM4ToolTip.ma is small lightweight program that displays a features XFM properties as a tooltip by your cursor.

    At this time it will enable you to display the tool tip three ways:

    1) Show all XFM properties

    2)  Show only a configured property.  To do this, add the variable XFM_PROPERTY4TOOLTIP = PropertyName to your configuration.  Note that the property name is case sensitive.  You can add this configuration variable to your project schema, or add it to a keyin such as the following.  This will allow you to switch to displaying different properties fairly easily.  Note:  This keyin assumes that the MDL is already loaded.

    mdl unload xfm4tooltip;mdl load xfm4tooltip;expand set xfm_property4tooltip = Property_01

    mdl unload xfm4tooltip;mdl load xfm4tooltip;expand set xfm_property4tooltip = Property_02

    mdl unload xfm4tooltip;mdl load xfm4tooltip;expand set xfm_property4tooltip = Property_03

    If the property does not have a Display Name defined, the word Tooltip is used as shown in the graphic above.

    3)  The default tool tip.

    Other notes:

    - The display of the level name is optional as indicated by the toggle in the dialog.

    6763.XFM Properties for Tool Tips.zip

    - Download the zip file which includes a sample DGN and the MDL. 

    - Place XFM4ToolTip.ma in ...\WorkSpace\Standards\mdlapps\intelnt

    - Load it for use with the keyin MDL LOAD XFM4TOOLTIP

    Note:  MDL was updated February 2018 to correct a minor bug.
