Orbits of dobule planets

There is no orbital diagram of a double planet system going around its star. There is an orbit for the double planets around themselves, but none for around the star. What is the deal with this?

It's a bug, fixed in v1.6

When does this version come out? And was my explanation clear enough?

I might be wrong but I think the latest SVN builds found on cartrite's site is the current v1.6 in progress.

Hello
I don’t understand.
I am very lucky, but whatever the version that works with me.
pluto-charon.jpg
For example here is a screenshot of Pluto selected with its orbit in red. The Orbit of the couple Pluto-Charon is drawn in
blue. If you want, you can select directly Pluto-Charon by typing its name and even mark it (Ctrl-K, Ctrl-P).
To be shown, don’t forget to
select dwarf planet’s orbits in the render options menu.

I do have double planet orbits selected and the orbit NEVER shows up. I can type in the pluto-charon or select it by hitting 9, it doesn't matter. The orbit never ever shows up.

You may need a solarsys.ssc file that is up to date with svn. Right click and "save target as" or "save link as" this link.

That did it thank you. I noticed adding the lines
Visible true
Clickable true
Allows the other double planets I have show up too.
