File Find Settings

File Find application options allow you to indicate where STK should search for dynamic Earth data files, pixmap images that are used for cursors and icons, help files, and help index files. The STK installation provides a default set of directories.

Use the drop-down list to select the type of file for which you want to specify a location.

File Type	Description
Cursor Image files	Specify the location of the image files that represent the shape of the mouse pointer.
DAFIF	Specify the location of the Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) files. For instructions on downloading and installing DAFIF catalogs, click here. DAFIF is restricted-access information and is not provided by AGI. If you do not already have access, you may request it from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. For more information, visit www.nga.mil.
Dynamic Earth Data files	Specify the location of the Dynamic Earth Data files. These files include Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP), Solar Flux and Geomagnetic data, and long-term solar flux predicts (for use with the Lifetime tool).
3D Imagery, Terrain, and Model Files	Specify the location of the external directory for your 3D Windows files, including imagery, terrain, analytical terrain, and models.
Help and Help Index Files	Specify the location of the STK Help files. You need do this if you change the default location of the Help files or Help Index files; otherwise, the links between the STK application and the STK Help will not work.
Pixmap Image files	Specify the location of the image files that represent the icons that appear in the Object Browser.

You can specify one location or a series of directories to search for the selected type of files. Use the button to create a new line in the Directories list. You can then enter the desired location directly or click and browse for the desired location.

If you specify more than one directory for a file type, STK will search the directories in the order in which they appear in the Directories list. You can use the and buttons to change the order of the entries in the list. Use the button to delete entries.
