General types of properties in the "Wheel Designer"...

•House Anchor Chart - This must have a value between 1 and the number of charts in this design. It indicates which chart’s house cusps will be used for multi-wheel displays. This is usually set to 1, indicating that the houses of the innermost chart will be used. In a three chart wheel, setting this to 2 would indicate that the middle chart’s houses would be used, and setting it to 3 would indicate that the outermost chart’s houses would be used.

•Thin Printer Lines - This must be either True or False. When it is false, then when the design is printed it will have lines that are approximately the same thickness as on the screen design. When it is true, then the printed lines are somewhat thinner than the screen lines. Typically the printed chart looks better when this is set to True.

•Dial Degrees - This must be a number from 10 to 360, indicating the number of degrees shown in the wheel. If the number is less than 360, then this design is considered to be a dial. If the number is 360, then this design is considered to be a wheel, provided that the glyph type in the zodiac ring is not set to degrees.

•Fixed Anchor - This must be either True or False. It indicates whether or not the wheel or dial is fixed at a particular angle, rather than having the anchor chart’s ascendant fixed on the left of the chart. Normally it should be set to false for a wheel display and to true for a dial display. When set to true, the chart is fixed at the angle specified in the anchor degrees property.

•Anchor Degrees - This must be a number from 0 to 360. It specifies at what angle the wheel or dial is fixed. For example, setting this to 0 ensures that the 0 degree point on the chart is fixed at the left of the wheel. Similarly, 90 fixes the 0 degrees point of the chart to the top of the wheel, 180 to the right of the wheel, and 270 to the bottom of the wheel. For a dial, this should normally be set to 90, putting the origin at the top of the dial. This option is ignored if the Fixed Anchor property is false.
