Delay Tooltip Display

AutoCAD Factory and Inventor Factory now take advantage of the tooltip and second-level tooltip delay settings in Options. This setting can prevent tooltips from popping up as you move your mouse around your layout; you must hover over an asset for the amount of time specified in the settings before the tooltip displays. This setting did not previously exist in Navisworks, but has been added in this release. The settings are in Asset ToolTips in Factory Options.
