Tool Tip Options dialog
Used to display any customized input or output information about a node, beam, plate or solid element by simply placing the mouse over the structural entity.
The structural tool tips include the maximum and minimum nodal displacements and beam end forces out of all the load cases (envelope of displacements or forces). You can now place the mouse over a node or beam and have a tool tip report these values. Tool tips are similar to the information box displayed when the mouse hovers over a toolbar icon.
