    Hi Ram1234, the General tabs allows us to choose which information to include it in the datatip; the Value box gets checked automatically, indicating its inclusion in the datatip as well. Select the Value box to only include the alphanumeric character string associated with the information in the datatip, which displays as $<value>, such as $COMMENT for instance, in Specify DataTips Format. Choose All to display all information available for the chosen element in the datatip.

    The Advanced tab displays all properties applicable to the chosen Object Type and available for inclusion in the datatip. ( For Net objects, Path length and Manhattan length are included in the Advanced tab.)

    We can also change if all of the data information will be appear one line in the "Specify DataTips Format" portion of the GUI

    To do this select one of the datatips, like name or value, and highlight it. You can then move it using the arrow keys. In addition, highlighting the space in between the fields you can use the enter key to insert a line feed/carriage return to manipulate the data to show how you want it to appear in the Allegro canvas.

    In the following pictures we have manipulated the objects so that each is on a separate line.
