Bodies List Presets

A bodies list preset saves a set of body selections under a name you choose, so you can reapply a familiar selection to any study. Presets are shared across studies, and a default preset is applied to new studies.

Bodies list presets are reached by right-clicking a row in the bodies list. There is no presets button on the bodies list; every preset command is on the right-click menu.

note

On aspect studies, the Inner Bodies and Outer Bodies lists each keep their own separate presets.

note

When you create or rename a preset, Cygnus shows a small prompt with a single text field and Save and Cancel buttons. The Save button stays disabled until you type a name.
