Steve - I had exactly the same problem while working with Cubic
Converter / Cubic Connector (MAC only). If you are using Cubic
Converter, one thing you can try doing is reorienting the
equirectangular image using Cubic Converter's center point slider
(setting a new center point). This will slice the image into
different cub faces which might be more favorable to how you want to
draw the hotspots.
Not a perfect solution.
There are other applications which will allow more flexibility in hot
spot creation.
DeliVRator (Mac Only) contains many features in addition to
optimizing VR. It has a node editor that gives you access to all
cube faces arranged in the 6 + 2 'T' format, allowing you to span hot
spots across each cube. You might still have a problem, however, if
you want to span hotspots into the zenith and nadir regions though.
LiveStage Pro (Mac & PC) allows you to set hot spots anywhere.
Unfortunately both these apps are pricey if all you want to do is
create hot spots, and LiveStage Pro has quite a learning curve.
I'm sure there are other apps out there for setting hot spots across
multiple cub faces - I think VRworx might allows this.

Greetings,
I'm creating spherical QTVR panoramas, and the software I'm using
allows you to define hotspots by drawing polygons on a cube face.
What if the hotspot area spans two faces? How do I define a single
hotspot to cover the area? Perhaps it's a limitation of the
program I'm using? It'd be nice if I could just pan around and
draw the hotspot wherever, but this apparently isn't
possible. :-/ Is there any software which does allow this?
Thanks for any help,
