Sometimes when zoomed in on the control template it is not obvious whether it is straight, curved, or a transition curve template. Which it may be necessary to know before making adjustments.

You can easily find out by clicking the geometry menu to see which of the top 3 items is showing a bullet mark.

But I thought it would be convenient to have the information visible at a glance, so I have added a curving indicator on the information panel. This shows:

S  for a straight template
C  for a constant radius template
T  for a transition curve template

If a slew is present in the template, there is also a tilde character (swung dash) prefix:

~S    ~C    ~T

In the next program update. :)

But seriously Derek, why would anyone use MS VBA?

If you want to try programming, I suggest Lazarus (free):
