"tooltip" text in .svg

Steve Krause Jul 14, 2018 5:25 PM

I asked this question mixed in with another question yesterday and it might get lost in that other question so I am starting it's own discussion:

When I am in the Technical Illustration Workshop I do a Save as to generate an .svg file. I then go into CorelDraw and import that .svg file. That .svg file always comes in showing the text "tooltip" in the upper left hand corner and I have to ungroup(explode) the .svg and select and delete the text along with deleting a couple no fill boxes. No big deal. but I am curious why this happens. What's that all about?

Could you attach a screen shot of what you see once it is imported into CorelDraw? It may make it easier for us to help you figure out a solution.

  this is being brought into corel draw. When I Ungroup All Objects I can select the text and delete it.

    Well that is honestly a first for me. You could try and uncheck your collaboration selection before exporting your technical illustration....although this may remove your installation lines also.

  I did some experimenting.
  checking any of these boxes puts the "tooltip" text in the upper left corner of the .svg output.
  
  I have no idea what Hotspots are or why I'd use them but if I make sure those selections are not checked the "tooltip" text is not in the .svg. Also, I don't remember ever selecting to turn them on.

    Did you check the collaboration setting to see if that helps? Its under the lines tab.

      I just checked to see if turning back on the three selections under hot spots and then turning off Show Colaboration gets rid of "tooltip". It doesn't get rid of it as long as the Hotspots settings are selected. I think it has something to do with hotspots, whatever that is.
      I wonder what the text tooltip is from?
      At this point it is just a curiosity and not really a problem.

        Hotspots allow you to link to different views, weblinks, etc. This only works if you export and use Composer Player though as far as I am aware. I really only use Composer for creating technical images imported into Indesign for manuals, training guides, etc. I neve use player since most people wont want to download a software just to view a file in my experience.

Hello,
hotspots are very useful when publishing (and viewing) SVG in your internet browser. They work as an hyperlink and will allow you to navigate through you assembly and sub-assemblies. SVG was developed especially for the use in todays internet-browsers.
See the yellow hotspot (hyperlink) in the internet explorer:
Cheers, Heiko
