Numeric Table Presets

A numeric table preset is a saved set of values you can reload into a numeric table with a couple of clicks. The same preset commands work on all three of Aquila's numeric tables:

Each kind of table keeps its own presets. There is no preset button; you reach every preset command by right-clicking inside the table, below the column header. The menu opens whether or not the table already contains rows, and its Presets entry lists your saved presets.
