Customize Info Tips

You can control the properties that display in the info tips for Inventor files.

  1. Browse to, and open the InfoTip.config file at:

    Windows 7 and Windows 8: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Autodesk Inventor 2014\InfoTip.config

  2. In the InfoTip.config file, adjust the attributes to display your specific properties:
    • If necessary, change the name attribute of any property.
    • To control the display of a property, set the exclude attribute to “yes” or “no”.
    • Delete or add elements as necessary.
    Note: In the configuration file, Design Tracking Control section, the property elements display only when they own a value, even if exclude is set to “no.”
  3. Save the file.
  4. To view your changes, pause the cursor over a different Inventor file to generate and display the new Info Tip. Otherwise, Windows displays the old cached Info tip.

    Info tips display the changed properties until you make more changes or delete the InfoTip.config file.
