Does not support STK12

Current version does not support STK 12

Yes you are right. Thanks for raising the issue! If you have the GUID for STK12, please let me know, I can add that into ORBITM quickly just by adding an extra mode and line in the code snippet from the STK integration Python file. Below is the code snippet for STK10/11

# GUID for STK10: 90E096F9-9615-4BA8-BA23-680F8D236959
GUID_STK10 = "{90E096F9-9615-4BA8-BA23-680F8D236959}"
# GUID for STK11: 090D317C-31A7-4AF7-89CD-25FE18F4017C
GUID_STK11 = "{090D317C-31A7-4AF7-89CD-25FE18F4017C}"
    
# Replace below where necessary.
if orbm_mode == 2:
    comtypes.client.GetModule((comtypes.GUID( GUID_STK10 ),1,0))
elif orbm_mode == 3:
    comtypes.client.GetModule((comtypes.GUID( GUID_STK11 ),1,0))

thanks for such a quick response!
I'm not sure which GUID you need but here's a link to a migrating STK 11 to STK 12 https://help.agi.com/stkdevkit/index.htm#mappingTo12.htm#guid

looking at the table, it looks like the GUID associated with the STK 11 one you have above is: FEAEF02E-48CE-42AE-B99B-FB9871A69E4B

Ooooh thanks! It seems for Astrogator, it is FEAEF02E-48CE-42AE-B99B-FB9871A69E4B.

I will try to do a commit sometime this week to include that in the GUI, in the mean time, if you are in urgent need to automate STK12 using ORBITM, maybe you can try to manually replace the GUID for STK11 in the file orbmstk.py:

1. At line 130, replace it with:

GUID_STK12 = "{FEAEF02E-48CE-42AE-B99B-FB9871A69E4B}"

2. At line 135-136, replace it with:

elif orbm_mode == 3:
        comtypes.client.GetModule((comtypes.GUID( GUID_STK12 ),1,0))

3. At line 202-208, replace it with:

    elif orbm_mode == 3:
        try:
            uiApp = GetActiveObject('STK12.Application')
            uiApp.Quit()
        except:
            print("Wrong STK version selected! Currently selected STK 12. \n")
            pass

4. At line 222 - 223, replace it with:

    elif orbm_mode == 3:
        uiApp = CreateObject("STK12.Application")

5. Now if you select STK 11 in the GUI, it will actually run STK 12. I think. Let me know if this hack works in the mean time! I might take awhile to get the commits in due to work/school, but I'll try to do it this week =)

I get an "error in running! DeltaVVector" using that hack. don't worry about rushing it. Work and school come first :)

[sammmlow]

Oooh that actually sounds like an error coming from STK12 because DeltaVVector is a sub-class of the Maneuver object in STK... I don't have STK12 unfortunately, so I'm not able to replicate this error, but is there a chance you can share a print out of the full error log (if any) so I can understand what happened? My guess is that STK12 Integration and Astrogator probably had changes to their Integration API as they upgraded from 10 -> 11 -> 12.
