Using stl2pv_config on Windows
The configuration of the Creo View Adapter for STL is accomplished using the stl2pv_config tool.
1. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the <installation_directory>\bin directory in which you installed the Creo View Adapter for STL. Double-click stl2pv_config. The STL Adapter Configuration dialog box opens.
2. If you have a prior configuration, you can use the Existing Configuration group to quickly and completely update that configuration to the latest version of the Creo View Adapter for STL. The Setup Directory field in this group allows you to specify the location of the previous configuration.
Once you browse to an existing setup directory, stl2pv_config automatically fills in all the required fields. Click Setup to automatically update your earlier version to the latest version.
* 
If you prefer to test the new configuration before overwriting your existing version, you can change the Setup Directory location in the Parameters group. This saves the new configuration in a different location, preserving the existing version instead of overwriting it. Then, if you choose not to use the new configuration, you can return to the Existing Configuration Setup Directory, which acts as a backup. When you are satisfied that the new version is working in your location, you can overwrite the old version with the new one.
3. Use the Parameters group settings in the STL Adapter Configuration dialog box to specify configuration settings for the adapter. This allows you to specify the way your system locates and starts STL for publishing purposes. The Parameters group includes these fields:
a. Client/Server Version
In the Client/Server Version drop-down list, you specify the client/server version number. This version should match your Creo View client and/or Visualization server. Setting the version incorrectly can cause problems with your Creo View client and/or Visualization server.
b. Setup Directory
stl2pv_config configures the adapter to run from the setup directory that you specify. Using different setup directories allows you to have multiple adapter configurations available to address different visualization requirements.
To specify the setup directory, you can use the folder icon to the right of the Setup Directory field in the STL Adapter Configuration dialog box. This displays the Select a Setup Directory dialog box. Browse to a <setup_directory> location, or you can type the path in the Directory field.
Click OK after selecting the setup directory. You are returned to the STL Adapter Configuration dialog box to make further configuration selections.
4. Use the Components group settings in the STL Adapter Configuration dialog box to define the publishing components to configure and the way your system locates the Visualization server host and port. The Components group box includes these fields:
a. Create stlbatch
Enable this setting to run STL in batch mode from the command line to convert batch of files to Creo View viewables.
b. Create stlworker
Creates a startup script that is used by the Windchill Visualization Service to start the Adapter in worker mode to publish Creo View viewables as part of the Windchill publishing process. To do this, the Adapter needs the following details about the Windchill server.
a. Server Host
Enter the host name of the Windchill server.
b. Server Port
Enter the port to be used to communicate with the Worker Agent on the Windchill server. The default port number is 5600.
c. Worker Alias
Optionally, enter the name of the worker alias.
A name for the worker alias is not required to configure the worker.
Do not include spaces in the name for the worker alias.
d. Test Server
After you specify the server host, port, and alias name in the case of an alias worker, click Test Server to perform the following actions:
Validate the machine name, port number, worker availability, and alias name.
Verify that the test server can connect to the Worker Agent at that location.
A Server Configuration Test window displays the following results:
Worker Type
Server
Port
Alias
Test Connection to Server—Opens the Server Configuration Test dialog box. If the test result shows Succeeded or Failed, and the resulting message commences with Set keepalive ok, then click Ok to continue the setup.
5. Click Setup to generate the configuration. The Setup Complete dialog box appears.
6. Click OK to continue.
7. After you set up the configuration, you can click Recipe Editor to edit the recipe file for this configuration.
* 
Changes to the recipe file should only be performed by advanced users.
8. Click Exit and a prompt appears. Click Yes to confirm that you want to exit.
