show graphs in synthesim-mode
In SyntheSim mode, Vensim displays a small graph depicting the behaviour of every parameter in the view. When you point to a variable-name, in the example project (predator prey), Sable shows an enlarged graph of the behaviour of the variable. We've tried to get the same in our project, but the enlarged graphs are not shown. How can we do this?

One thing to check is the settings you have stored in Vensim.ini. To do this, go to the menu option TOOLS>OPTIONS and select the SKETCH tab. Make sure "comments on hover for" is selected.
Sable will make use of any vensim.ini file found in the model directory of the project. Once you are happy with the settings, copy the vensim.ini file from the windows directory into the model directory of the project, and ensure this is distributed with any application (so long as you have a redistribution license of course
)
Of course, a more sophistictated method would be to use the Venapp command SETTING>HOVERCOM
"Determines whether or not comments will be displayed when the user lets the mouse stay over a variable on the sketch. For Vensim this option is on by default. However, for Venapps, the Vensim Application Runtime and the Vensim DLL this option is off by default. If you want to show comments on sketches you should set this at the beginning of your application."
So, use this command in the screen activation commands on the first screen loaded and it should work fine.
