STK Objects for Resource Creation Form

The Select STK Objects for Resource Creation form allows you to select one or more STK objects to be used to create one or more STK Scheduler resources. All resources created using this feature will assume the default resource attributes.

This form may be reached by selecting Resources -> Ingest From STK, from the STK Scheduler Menu Bar.

An associated STK scenario must be defined for this option to work. An associated STK scenario may be defined or modified on the STK Properties Tab of the Schedule Properties Form.

Select STK Objects for Resource Creation Form

STK Objects Listview

The STK objects listview contains the list of available STK objects. Each selected STK object in the listview will create one STK Scheduler resource when you click the OK button.

The STK objects that appear in the listview may be filtered by the method used to open the form. If STK objects of a specified type do not appear in the listview but are needed, click the close button, then open the form again by selecting Resource -> Ingest From STK -> All, from the Menu Bar.


STK Scheduler recognizes only the following STK object types:

  • Aircraft
  • Area Targets
  • Chains
  • Facilities
  • Ground Vehicles
  • Launch Vehicles
  • Missiles
  • Places
  • Planets
  • Radars
  • Receivers
  • Satellite
  • Sensors
  • Ships
  • Stars
  • Targets
  • Transmitters

Using this method, STK Scheduler will by default prescribe the STK object name as the STK Scheduler resource name. If, however, the object name begins with a number or hyphen (-), STK Scheduler will add an underscore (_) in front of the name.

Add To Resource Group

The add to resource group field allows you to add the resources selected in the STK Object Listview to a new or previously defined resource group as they are ingested.

Select All Button

The select all button causes all STK objects in the listview to become selected.

OK Button

The OK button will cause a resource to be created for every selected STK object in the listview and then close the Select STK Objects for Resource Creation Form.

Cancel Button

The Cancel button closes the Select STK Objects for Resource Creation Form without creating any resources.
