Tracker options

Is there a way to display X&Y coords and polar distance in the tracker palette? I use it for measuring often and I can get polar by typing "D" for "distance" but I can't find a toggle to display them both. It looks like its one or the other?

If you have your Tracker settings like this (in your Work Environment settings) ...

... you will get the Tracker to show Distance and Angle by default, but expand to show x-y as well, as soon as you enter a number. Also, i have the Coordinate Palette open all the time (shown above the Tracker) which gives me real-time x-y readings all the time.

Thanks Thomas,
I can get what I want by hitting "D". I was hoping to just get a visual without having to input anything. An option would be nice as I prefer to not have the coord bar active unless needed.

OK. I find having Distance-Angle as the default is most convenient for me. And I have a big screen. YMMV.
