Just a quick post.
Have you ever had the problem of the Tooltip not displaying. (The Tooltip is the list box that shows current values of an object you hover over -eg. below in Image 1 Elev=4.31.)

If you have objects in your drawing and you have temporarily allowed your cursor to rest over it/them, you should see values similar to the ones shown above. However; sometimes other users turn these displays off because keeping them on uses more processing speed, ultimately slowing down your production (we can't have that ;) ).
To turn these back on:
Click the Settings tab on the Toolspace and Right-Click on the current drawing name.
The Drawing Settings dialogue box will open. Select the Ambient Settings Tab and select "Yes".

You'll find if you're always working in the same files, it may be nice to have only some information shown by the Tooltip. For example, you may only want the Tooltip to show you elevations on a surface, but no offsets to an alignment. This is simple, you just work your way down the hierarchy and turn what you want on and what you don't need off. The sceenshot below shows how you would turn the surface (surface elevation) Tooltip on.

Hope this quick tip save someone some hardship.
