Body List Presets

Body list presets save celestial body selections for quick reuse across studies. Instead of selecting bodies one by one each time you create a study, you can apply a saved preset to instantly configure the body list.

What Presets Capture​

A body list preset stores which celestial bodies are selected in a body list. In aspect ephemeris studies, inner body presets and outer body presets are managed separately.

Accessing Body List Presets​

Right-click on any row in the Bodies list to open a context menu. The preset options appear in the lower portion of the menu.
