Celestia Forums

I noticed that Celestia has an Edit Mode. What is it, and how do I use it?

You can hold (I believe) shift and drag the selected object around to reorient it. Then you can have Celestia crank out that orientation in a format usable by dsc files for galaxies and what-not. I forgot how this is done exactly. Only used it productively once or twice.

Correction: Shift + Ctrl

You need to start Celestia up via command line prompt then use the edit mode in order to save what changes you make to the orientation.

Can Edit Mode be used to alter orbits?

No, just the orientation of objects.

Ok, thanks.
