X5 and X6 How to turn off tool tip

[DavidH]

I upgraded from X1 so I'm not sure how long this feature has been around. When I select a tool, the icon for the tool appears next to my cursor, I guess to remind me of what tool is selected. I find it distracting and would like to turn it off, but I can't find out where to control this. I assume it is possible to not show the tool icon?

thanks

Hello David,

Edit/Preferences/Behaviors/Behavior Indicators (off).

[Doug Park]

These behavior indicators are for things that many people tend to forget are on or off, such as edit object parts, and a few other things that result in frustration because the the selected state was forgotten.

Yes, I leave them on. It's too easy to forget to turn them off, and you'll be editing a single line, in a p-line when you really want to edit the whole p-line

thanks for the replies- yes, I can see instances where they would be helpful, but just didn't want them on all the time. Nice to have the option.
