Hotspot Degrees Table

The Hotspot Degrees table appears on hotspot-based studies (Aspect Hotspots, Hotspot Transits, Station Hotspots, Solar Eclipse Hotspots, Lunar Eclipse Hotspots) and holds the user-defined critical degrees of the zodiac that the study targets. Each row represents one degree value between 0° and 360°.

The Hotspot Degrees table follows the same row management and preset patterns as the Aspects table, so the same sequences of clicks apply.

Add Hotspot Degree​

To add a new degree to the Hotspot Degrees table:

  1. Type the degree in the text box immediately below the table.
  2. Press Enter, or click the Add button to the right of the text box.

A new row containing the entered degree appears in the table. The Add button is enabled only when the text box contains a value AND the study is unlocked.

Delete Hotspot Degrees​

To remove one or more rows from the Hotspot Degrees table:

  3. Press Delete to remove the selected rows.

Hotspot Degrees Presets​

The Hotspot Degrees table does not have a presets flyout button (the slot to the right of the text box is the Add button). All Hotspot Degrees preset commands are accessed exclusively through the right-click context menu on the table, exactly as on the Aspects table.
