File Find Settings

Through Preferences on the Edit menu, go to the File Find page to specify where STK should search for certain types of files. The STK installation provides a default set of directories for each type.

Use the dropdown menu to select the type of file for which you want to add, delete, or change the order of the file directories. You can do this for the following file types:

File Type	Description
3D Imagery, Terrain, and Model files	This is the external directory for your 3D Graphics window files, including imagery, terrain, analytical terrain, and models.
Cursor Image files	These are image files that represent the shape of the mouse pointer.
DAFIF	These are 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.
