  2. On the Display panel Display Properties rollout, turn on Trajectory.
    Tip: If the rollout controls are unavailable, right-click the object in the active viewport, choose Object Properties, and in the Display Properties group, click By Layer to change to By Object. This will make the Trajectory option become available.
