   Hey guys,
I hope this topic hasn't been discussed yet. If it has, I apologize in advance.
What I need is, if possible,  a lisp or a macro (I'm not an expert) that, when I hover or pause over a block, shows me a small window with the attributes. I know I can type "ddedit" on the command line and that it will open me the required window and I can then see the attributes. However, it makes my work very slow. My idea is that just the way when you pause over a command button in the menu and it shows you a small description and then when you move away it hides it, I 'd like to have the same, however, for the "ddedit" command.
Do you think it's possible?

	You want something akin to the "Tooltip" that AutoCAD displays, right?

	You'll be better off seeking advice regarding programming on the AutoDesk Discussion Forums website. There is one specific to customization and programming. That's where the experts hang out.
