Hello,

I am Falonne Moumbogno. I have a question regarding Avogadro’s display option. I would like to directly display the bond length or angle on my molecules. Please, how can I do that? In the past, I could see the option in the display section, but now I don’t see this anymore.

I appreciate your help!  
Best regards,

Falonne M.

It’s not in the display types. I believe what you’re thinking of comes up with the Bond Centric Manipulation tool, e.g.

Also, if you use the Measure tool.

More general labels are a suggestion for Avo2:
