Editing Chart Details

Instead of opening a chart exactly as it is stored in the chart file, you may wish to change some of the chart’s details, for example to correct an incorrect birth time, or to specify a different location, house system, zodiac or event type for the chart.

>> To edit a chart

1.Select a single chart, and then click on the Edit button.

This will display the “New Chart Data Entry” dialog box with the data from the selected chart. Type any new data over the existing data.

>> To replace the stored chart with the newly edited chart

•Select the Replace Chart in File option by ensuring that it is checked.

The original chart will be overwritten with the newly edited details

Note: This option will now remain checked for the duration of this session in Solar Fire or until you uncheck it.

>> To create a separate copy of the edited chart

•Do not select the Replace Chart in File option (ensure that it is unchecked).

The original chart will remain the same in the chart file, and a new chart will be opened with the newly edited details. To keep a permanent copy of this new chart you will need to save it to a file yourself. See Saving Charts to a File for further instructions on saving files.

2.Select the OK button.
