I have a fairly long route that I have created but I would like to copy just the southern section of it. What would be the best way to copy just part of the route if you know what I mean?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Geoffrey

The way I would do this is:

1) First create a copy of the route using RouteRiter, giving the copy of the route the name you want the part route to be called.
2) Locate the area where you want to break the route and remove track sections that run over the tile boundary.
3) Use RGE to delete the tiles you don't want.


I've never tried it....and I have no idea if deleting track with interactives in place will cause havoc. But its a process to try.

And you would need to rebuild the TDB when you open the route up again after deleting the superfluous tiles because it will be corrupt. A rebuild will rebuild the TDB and RDB and the other data files with just the track, roads and items left in the "new" route.

And once you've done all that, the TDB rebuild will probably lose ALL the interactives tied into the track database. At the very least it will 'scramble' the signal links for ALL junction signals - you will have to go back into RE and re-set them all up again manually, saving after each fix, of course.

When I recently grafted the Sydney Central to Flemington section of Peter's CTN onto the eastern end of my new 'Short West + Short South' I lost ALL interactives on the route being merged (CTN) - signals, pickups, level crossing markers, mileposts, speedboards, car spawners - the lot, everything that was tied directly into the TDB files. It took me the best past of two weeks to put them all back in again.
