Asset Replacement in Surveyor

[JimBrand]

I'm and old computer veteran since the 8 inch floppy days - plus i have been using Trainz in various versions for 5 almost 6 years now. BUT, I can't figure out the "replace assets" option in Surveyor and I can't find any documentation.

It is probably very simple and I have just overlooked something. Can anyone help? I'm wanting to replace 65 mph speed signs with 50 mph speed signs.

I struggeled with that too, until I suddenly figured it out, and noticed how unbelieveably obvious it really is :hehe: . You open the "replace assets" from the menu. Then you open the tracks-tab. Drag the asset you want to replace (65mph sign) into the left box, and the asset you want to change it to (50mph sign) into the right box.

Not all assets seem to be replaceable, though. For instance, I was not able to replace bridges...

That is correct, but you must make sure you drag it from the asset selection list for whichever asset type you want to do the replacement with.

If the item you want to replace is on the map, use the Get tool on the appropriate tab to select the asset ready for dragging. It seems to work best with signals and other trackside objects (and possibly buildings)

I have used it several times on routes to replace Auran Track with MP Track. Worked like a charm and quickly replaced track, turnouts, yards, etc.

This is one of the great advances made available in TS09/10 that was long wanted and requested, but, strangely, we never hear the TRS04 crowd talking about it.....

Having read the above I still dont get it, I am trying to replace all point levers in my route with point motors i cannot see how to drag the item i want to change into the window of the change assets box this is in trs 2010 patched to 44088 by the way ?

Or is it me just thick as two short planks ?

Help lol !!!!

Might be a case of you wooden doing it right.
You have the replace asset tool open, using the get tool aim it at the point lever, select, and point lever comes up in the selection box. Hold mouse on that and drag it across to the replace asset box.
You'll have to scroll through to the point motor you want, click on it then drag it across to the "replace with" box.
Select ok or whatever it is and it's done.
Clear as a six inch plank.

You drag from the item you have highlighted in the list, not the selection box at the top.

 

[olpe]

You drag the item from the object list (what you get when you use "get object"). If you want to change an asset called "lever", you drag the text itself ("lever") into the "asset to replace"-box.

And there you suddenly have three replies to choose from :hehe: .
