Custom Objects Sets
You can use the Custom Object sets to add predefined set of objects
(such as Asteroids) to your charts.
Creating Object Sets
To create the
Custom Object Set:
- Go to the Settings menu
and select the Object Sets...
menu option.
- Click the Add New button.
- Enter the Object Set
name and hit enter.
- Note: if you want the objects in
the current set to appear in charts by default, click the Include Planets checkbox / table
cell. When it's set to Yes (checked), all the objects in the Set will
always be added to all newly created or updated charts. For existing
charts, they will be added after hitting the Redraw button.

To add an
Asteroid or a
Planetoid to an already created
Object Set, follow these steps:
- Open your base chart
- Select the Lists -> Asteroids Search... menu option.
- Click the green Plus icon and
enter the asteroid name (partial names can also be used to search for
matching asteroids or planetoids).
- Click the Search button.
- In the Asteroids search
results screen, select the required asteroid and click the Add Object to Set button.
- In the Custom Object Sets
window, select the Object Set and click the Add button.
The object will be added to the selected Set.
Customizing Objects Appearance

and select the Object Sets...
menu option.
- Select the Object Set
where the object had previously been added. All objects included in the
set will be listed in the Objects table
on the right.

object you would like to customize.
- You can update any of the following:
- Object Name
- Orb - orb to be used in
all aspects calculations
- Symbol - symbol to be
shown in charts and tables unless the Icon is also selected.
- Color - this is the
color of the object. You can use the Color
Picker to select and customize the color to be used for this
object.Note: entered colors will appear
as HTML color codes. Clicking on the row will cause a small square icon
to appear indicating the current color of the object
- Icon - this is the icon
of the object. Note: if the icon is left
blank then the Symbol will be
used for this object in all charts and tables. However, if the Icon is selected, then this icon
will be used instead.
- Once done editing, hit the Enter.
