Custom Hint Values
Simulator can be configured to show a short hint string when the mouse is hovered over objects on
the oneline diagrams. This hint string will appear in a yellow box as shown below.
This option must be set first by opening the Simulator Options dialog and then going to the Oneline
category and finally checking the Show Oneline Hints . The user may then customize what text and
values appear in the hint by choosing Custom Hint Values on the General Options ribbon group of
the Options ribbon tab. These General Options are also available on the Oneline ribbon tab.
This brings up a dialog on which customizations are made for each type of display object that can
show a hint.
Choose the type of object on the left side of the dialog. With this display object chosen, choose which
fields of this dialog you would like to include as part of the custom hint. Click the Add, Remove, or
Modify buttons to add, remove, or modify a field to the hint. Click the Up and Down buttons to
change the order in which the fields appear. On the dialog that appears after clicking Add or Modify,
you may customize the field with a prefix, modify the digits and decimal points, and specify whether to
show the units as a suffix. The Example column shows an example of what text will appear for the
hint.
