Hi @nraichura ,
maybe I did understood it correctly what is you input and I need to clarify. Let consider the example:
C:\Users\rraytchev\AppData\Roaming\VuforiaStudio\studio-download.vuforia.io\node_modules\cad-import-filters\import_filters\bin\pvaroptimizer.exe -r C:\Users\rraytchev\AppData\Roaming\VuforiaStudio\studio-download.vuforia.io\node_modules\cad-import-filters\import_filters\recipe\pvaroptimizer_low.rcp engine_test_exp.pvz
It is only one step- one call of the optimizer with the correct arguments
The first argument is the optimizer.exe with full path of the location. Then -r means now is following a rcp file which is a configuration file settings how the input file should be converted/ optimized. As I mention you do not need to create your own rcp file , but you can use some for the template in the directory:
<YOUR-Windows-User>\AppData\Roaming\VuforiaStudio\studio-download.vuforia.io\node_modules\cad-import-filters\import_filters\recipe\
So if you want to optimize a pvz file -> you could use the mentioned in the last post pvaroptimizer_low.rcp , pvaroptimizer_medium.rcp or pvaroptimizer_high.rcp. Here in the example I used pvaroptimizer_low.rcp- this means the input file is the pvz : here -> engine_test_exp.pvz - to clarify - this is the input / it could be specified with full path ( here is not needed because the file is in the same directory where we will call it)
This call will create engine_test_exp_low.pvz (inputfileName + ‘_low’.zip)---> so means the output filename convention is implicitly defined by the rcp file.
So in case that you want to convert and optimized a other fromat (your input is not a pvz file). In this case we have another templates. For example if your input file is obj file you can use -r obj2pv_import3d_dt.rcp (it supports also texture ) or the more simple converted (I think it will make smaller files without textures) obj2pv_import3d.rcp.
If you want to convert a gltf file you can try this one pvaroptimizer_gltf.rcp (I think it will not supports a binary, not sure) and if you want to convert a STEP file you can use step2pv_import3d_dt.rcp ... etc.
So it depends on your input format to decide what rcp file you can use. Using the help:

Optimize Creo View PVS & PVZ files for Augmented Reality Experience.
Files in: *.pvz *.pvs
Command Line : pvaroptimizer [options] <files>
where options can be:-
@<file> : Read options from the response file <file>
-?, -h : For basic help page
-d<depth> : Set the conversion file depth
-H : For extended help page
-epdconnect: Enable EPD.Connect orientated conversion
-mockup : Enable MockUp orientated conversion
-o<name> : Set output file basename
-p<name> : Set output base path
-j<name> : Get job from <name>
-r<name> : Set recipe file to <name>
-a<file> : Package additional <file> with output
-attrxml<name> : Add extra attributes to components from <name>
-filtercompxml<name> : filter components from <name>, depending on visibility for self and childs
-vc : Disable all console print-out
-vc1 : Redirect all console print-out to stdout
-vc2 : Redirect all console print-out to stderr (default)
-ve[n] : Increment or set (if [n] is given) the error reporting level,
-ve0 disables all error reporting, default 1
-vL<file> : Append all printed output to <file>
-vl<file> : Direct all printed output to <file>
-vn<file> : Direct all printed output to new log file <file>_#.log
-vp<n> : Set the process verbosity flag
-vt : Give the current date/time stamp with all print outs
-vw[n] : Increment or set the warning reporting level, see -ve
Files cannot be given from stdin
means you can use -o and specify the output file name
The option what could be used in the rcp file and pvr (I think it is used addtionaly by the optimizer tool)
