Can't see targetted ships

[irongut]

I'm trying to learn how to dock and I can get my two ships within a few km of each other but in camera view I can't see the little pink reticule that should be on the target ship. I've tried this several times and looked all around but just can't see it. Thinking back I have seen it about 2 weeks ago when doing an EVA on Mun with my lander targetted but I haven't seen it in similar situations since.

I use Kerbal Engineer, Kerbal Alarm Clock and Protractor plugins but I have also tried removing them and bringing two 100% stock probes within 3km but still didn't see my target.

Is there a setting that enables it that I might have changed? Have I found a bug or do I need to keep looking?

Edit: changed tag to answered.

There actually is a setting that changes this, called show vessel label, don't know what tab. Make sure on the nav-ball, you are facing the pink circle in target mode, or any mode, then it should be directly in-front of you ship. You can select the other ship as target with the rendezvous tab in Kerbal Engineer. Sometimes, when i select some thing as target, nothing happens, so i un-select it, and select it again.

Aha! Yup it's Show Vessel Labels on the General tab. That fixed it, thanks.

The tip about Engineer was useful too I'd forgotten about that tab.

Hitting F4 toggles the target symbols.

Thanks for that information

I am sure i hit that F4-Button "accidently" as i searched for the Screenshot-Button, hehe
