New Object Preferences

Through Preferences from the Edit menu, go to the New Object page to set preferences for creating new objects in STK.

Options for the Insert STK Objects tool ()

The Insert STK Objects tool automatically opens when you create a new scenario using the New Scenario Wizard. To prevent the New Scenario Wizard from automatically opening this tool, clear the Use the "New Object" wizard to create objects check box.

You can specify which objects appear in the Insert STK Objects tool. To do so, select the Show check box for the objects in the Object list.

Setting default methods for objects

To make your favorite creation method the default method for a particular object, select the object in the Object list on the left and highlight the method on the right. The next time that you insert an object using the Insert Default Object icon, STK will insert it using the default method you selected here.

To directly insert an object using its default method, go to the Default toolbar and click the arrow next to the Insert Default Object icon to see all the objects that have default methods. Click any of these to insert the object by the method specified in Edit > Preferences > New Object.
