Did you download all of the minor planets before looking? Do that from the Minor Planets dialog under the Data menu. Select Download/Import Data and the MPCORB. Select all types of minor planets to download. Once finished installing, close the dialogs.
One thing to be aware of on the Interactive Atlas is that minor planets not only need to be enabled in the View Controls, but you also need to be aware of what magnitude limit they are being displayed down to. Click on the Set button under Magnitude Limits at the top of the atlas window. Note that once you import all of the minor planets and then display them down to a very faint magnitude limit, it will take significantly longer to draw the charts.
Greg,
I downloaded the MRPCORB Daily Update which included hundreds of thousands of minor planets. I then created a new All Minor Planets Target List. I then opened the database power search and searched for all orbit class minor planets in any constellation and only 84 came up. I guess I am doing something wrong.
