Changing Constellation Lines
Hi,
I do not like the new big and little dipper without the line connecting the top of their "bowls." Can I get a different version, or some instructions to do it myself?
I can get around it with the LD by turning on Ursa Minor. But the BD is embedded to the whole great bear so I can't get just the complete dipper.
Thanks

Hi Sally,
Let me get with the engineers and see what we can do. It is in the bigDipper.lines file in the consetalltions_seperated/bigDipper module folder but unless you know exact star positions it can be a pain to try and figure out.
Thank you!

Hi Sally,
Here's an updated version of the file Greg mentioned which connects the top of the figure. You don't have write access to the Uniview application folder so what you should do is the following:
1. Start Uniview, click on Show More Options...
2. Click on the small arrow on the button "Open User Folder..."
3. In the drop-down menu, select "Open Application Folder..."
4. In the window that opens, go into the Modules folder.
5. Right-click on the constellations_separated folder and select "Copy"
6. Go to your user folder (via the button in the Uniview launcher window)
7. Go into "Custom Modules" folder, and then right-click and select "Paste". Now the constellations_separated folder should be copied here.
8. Go into this new folder and proceed into the bigDipper folder. Overwrite the bigDipper.lines file, with the one attached here.
9. In the profile editor, deselect the "Constellations and Asterisms" module in the left column, and instead select the new one in the right column.
10. Done!
