Creating reports for texts and tooltips
You can create text and tooltip definitions for floors, spaces, flexible workspaces, assets and people. Once created, the definitions can be selected as texts or tooltips for floors, spaces, flexible workspaces, assets and people from the relevant pick lists in the Settings dialog box of CAD Integrator .
By default, some basic information is already displayed in texts and tooltips if no report is linked. For example, for spaces the space number and space name are displayed as text and tooltip in the
CAD Integrator drawing.
For details on how to select the texts that are displayed in
CAD Integrator drawings, see the
CAD Integrator section of the
