Roll over tool tips are great but are a pain always getting in the way is there a way to show where they appear on the screen if not autodesk should come up with a way!

Not sure why anyone other than a newbie would say roll over tool tips are great.  Once you know what a command does do you have to be constantly reminded?

There is no way to tell AutoCAD where you want the tool tip to display however if the tooltip hinders you from seeing part of the drawing temporarily turn off dynamic input, along with its tooltip, by pressing and holding the F12 key.  That's about as good as it gets for the time being.

Was using a older version of aca .Just getting used to the ribbon.Just don't like tooltip sticking to the curser.Will just have to deal with it.Maybe Autodesk shuld come up with something like quick properties where you can place box in the corner.

For now it's either on/off or temporarily overridden.
