Hi Bill,

I can't remember the last time I went to that option, but in doing so I found that you are correct, UCAC-3 was/is toggled off.....lack of an asterisk in front. I toggled it on and the star common names disappeared. The "show at" values are 0 and 1 respectively and the field of view, after the Level 10 is 15 minutes.

I know before performing the 12 Jul 2010 update I had the option turned on but no check mark in the "Label" checkbox. I also now have a new button, PPM, on the tool bar that wasn't there before the update. I haven't messed with the things you mentioned in your last paragraph.....I break things and then forget how to revert to the before state.

Dave
