Sander, The info window that comes up when right clicking on an object contains the distance and position angle to the last object that was right clicked. Look near the bottom. This additional info will appear only after a second object has been selected. The info screen displays according to the order to which the catalogs were loaded. The title bar at the top of the screen contains the catalogs that are presently in use and their load order. You can change when catalogs get loaded by changing the "Min", "Max", under Preferences, Catalogs. Bob
