Editing a Wheel Design File
Contents
This section describes how to edit files that contain wheel or dial designs which may be used in Solar Fire’s chart or dial displays and printouts.
>> To edit a particular wheel or dial design
•From the Chart Options menu select one of the Wheel Styles or Dial Styles options
or...
•On the "View Chart" window select the Wheel Style or Dial Style button -which button is available depends on whether you are viewing a wheel or a dial ( to view a dial see Using Dials and Pointers).
or...
•From the "File Manager", select the required file from the list of file names, and select the Edit button
>> To start up the wheel designer directly from Windows
•Click on the Start button, then on All Programs, Esoteric Technologies, Solar Fire v9, Wheel Designer.
If you have started the wheel designer via Solar Fire’s "File Manager", then when the screen first appears, the current design file will be open. You may simply wish to examine or edit this file, but you may also use the available menu options to open and edit other wheel or dial design files or to create new ones.
The displayed wheel or dial is not that of a true chart - its planetary positions are fictitious and fixed, and are shown purely for convenience of getting a rough idea of how the design will look when used with a real chart. In order to see the design with a real chart, you will need to use it in Solar Fire to display a chart.
