Converting Chart Files
Contents
You can use Solar Fire's Chart Conversion Utility to import and/or export natal type charts to or from chart files created by Solar Maps, Solar Fire or various other astrological software, as well as sending chart details to text files.
Most charts produced by Astrolabe and Matrix Blue*Star or QuickCharts compatible software may be imported into the Solar Fire / Solar Maps format. The capability to import other types of chart files may also be added at a later date. If you have Nova, Chartwheels, Professional Natal Report, Blue*Star, or QuickCharts, and you have calculated and saved important natal charts using these programs, Solar Fire can import them into its own chart file format.
This utility searches for and processes only the natal chart records in your chart files. It does not import or export derived-type charts such as progressed charts, solar and lunar returns, and composite charts, for example.
Note: The ASCII text data that can be imported or exported using this utility can consist only of chart details such as name, date, place, timezone etc, and cannot include planetary or house data such as planetary and house cusp longitudes, declinations etc.
To use this utility look in Solar Fire Help under the Advanced Operations category for the "Importing and Exporting Chart Files" topic.
