    Default Dynamic Input

    It would be nice if the Dynamic Input location could be controlled. I find it sometimes gets in my way visually if I'm trying to see something underneath it (usually for reference). I'd like to be able to either change the visability of it or hit a key and flip it to a different location.

    Transparency makes sense.

    Go into Options under the Drafting Tab. Click the "Settings" button under "Drafting Tooltip Appearance". There you can change the size and Transparency or the display.

    Thanks Glenn,

    I thought I'd seen something to that effect, but couldn't find it this morning. About the only criticizm I'd have is this causes it to be greyed out all the time and I'd like to see it normal most of the time, with it greying out maybe with the push of a key (mostly to reduce eye strain). But it's better than not being able to see through it at all! Transparency set at 20% seems to work fairly well for me (besides it being a little faint).

    Thanks again!

    FWIW, I've set mine to yellow now. And 20% transparency. Had to increase the box size to compensate, though.

    Thanks John,

    The color change was a great idea... instead of yellow I chose my own favorite shade of blue. Amazing difference, not only does it help with the eyes and it's still transparent, but it's much more obvious on the screen where the Input boxes are at and it doesn't blend in with the rest of the colors on the screen.

    Thanks again, that should be under Tips and Tricks....
