Recently the ICT department finally installed PowerRailTrack B8i SS4 (08.11.09.845) on my system. Everything seems to work OK, but I have an issue with the StationOffsetAnnotation. I use this quite a lot to check the distance between alignments: existing to new or between two new ones - with an annotation every 2 of 5 meter. This worked fine in SS2, but not in SS4. I use the same settings (station offset, select two alignments and an interval) and for the annotation Offset and Delta Elevation.
In SS2 this produced leaders with de distance and height difference between the two specified alignments.
In SS4 however the height difference still works, but the distance stays zero. Using a report does work fine, so there really is a distance between the alignments. But with annotation, no matter which combination of alignments, to or from - the distance stays zero.
Am I doing something wrong, or have I encounterd a bug ?

Of course I can make some screenshots, I made them with the settings and results
This is in SS2: from MX01 to MX02, using the L&S_links preferences:
And in SS4 using the same settings:
As you can see I used the same settings from the same XIN-file (doublechecked that one) in both versions, but with different results. The delta elevation (bottom row in the annotation) is the same, but the offset (top row, -->0.000m ) not.
If you need any more information, files or screengrabs just let me know.

Using Drafting/Pro Rail Extensions/View Track Centers does work for the offset, not for the delta elevation.......
Yep, here's the annotation tab in SS2:
And here the annotation tab in SS4:
