(OP)
sorry if this has already been asked many times.
I just re-installed Solid Edge v18 on my computer and now there are annoying help balloons that pop up whenever i put the mouse over a button. how do i get rid of them?

thanks

RE: annoying help bubbles

Hi,

open any SE file then go to
 Tools --> Options --> Register Card 'Helpers'
  --> Tool tips -- set 'with minimal text'
      or uncheck Tool Tips as a whole
  
 to save space (either optional)
  uncheck --> 'Large Buttons'  and  'Text on Buttons'

RE: annoying help bubbles

If I recall correctly when you install SE V18 it sets itself in apprentice mode.  This may also be part of the problem.

The start up screen has an option at the bottom to turn this off.

RE: annoying help bubbles

Also on 'Helpers' is the option to turn off the Start-up Screen.

RE: annoying help bubbles

Turn Off The apprentice mode and then turn off text on icons using Options->Helpers,smile

RE: annoying help bubbles

Just to add one little thing on this subject :

To disable the 'Command Tips' as they call it (bigger tooltips that appear once in a while when in apprentice mode to explain the reference planes for example), go to Help/Assistants and uncheck 'Show Command Tips'
