How to measure current

Hi

I'm looking to sim a Transistor Zener regulator and want to measure the current at various points.

I'm not seeing the function to read amperage, its probably staring me in the face but I cannot see it.

Any pointers?

Thanks

In the time domain trace you can click on the element's connector and it will trace both voltage and current at that point.

It doesn't seem documented, but you can observe current after running DC solver. Hover your mouse over one of the leads of an element (say a resistor). The mouse cursor will turn into a pen and you will see current displayed at the bottom right corner of the editor.
