Name. List of dynamic display types.
Show. Displays the selected dynamic data in the 3D Graphics window and enables you to modify the location and font color.
Location. Specifies where the dynamic data is displayed:
- 3D Window. Data is displayed directly in the 3D Graphics window.
- Data Display Area. Data is displayed in an area attached to the 3D Graphics window. You also need to define the Data Display Area using the Annotation properties.
- Offset from Object. Data is displayed at a specified X,Y position relative to the selected object.
To change the location, double-click it, click the down arrow, and select a new location from the drop-down menu.

Show Object Name. Adds the object name to the beginning of the displayed report title.
If the text is not properly aligned in the 3D Graphics window, you may be using a variable-width font. To switch to a fixed-width font, go to the scenario's 3D Graphics Fonts page.
3D Windows
If you are using multiple 3D Graphics windows, choose to display the data in all (default) or selected 3D Graphics windows.
Background
Use. If selected, you can set the background color on which the data is displayed. Available only when location is 3D Window or Data Display Area.
Color. Specifies the background color for the data display area. To change the color, click the down arrow and select a new color.
Translucency. Use the slide control to set the translucency of the background color, border and image. Translucency can be adjusted from 0 to 100 percent, where 100 percent is completely invisible.
