Hi Cprich22;
What you are most likely doing is opening the Route, and not the Session for editing from the main menu.
If you are placing objects on the Session layer, you must always open the Session for editing in order to continue with your work.

Also, be aware of what layer you are working on while in Surveyor. By default, the Session layer is selected. I wish Auran had made the Route layer the default, or made this a parameter the user could change.
So when you open Surveyor, you must open the Layers tab and select the layer you want to work with.

When you save your route and session, be aware that if you use the "Save As" and give the new copy a different name, that only the current Session will be saved to that new copy of the Route. Any earlier sessions will not be available.

This has caused me a lot of grief.
Some assets will also save some setup info to the Session, and not the Route, so saving only the route will result in loss of this data.
In particular, the Junction Controllers, and the ATLS system saves to the Session.
I have been told that some assets (I think the Andi06 junctions) allow you to change the default and save data to the Route, but I haven't figured how to do that yet.

You just have to be very careful about what layer you are working on, and what you are saving and opening in Surveyor.

Hope this helps

All ATLS assets can be saved to a Route, (the same way that Andi's are).
Save the Name of the asset as the blue numbers in the top left show. Instructions are in the properties box.

What i have done is to open a route for editing at the top in edit session i put in a small decreption of what the route dose. This will give me something to go by when i open SESSION for editing, so i know which session i want to work in. Every time you open a ROUTE for editing you will get a new session.

At Cprich22 any chance or rewriting that, as I ran out of breath reading it, and can't understand most of it? All I could make out is that something or someone is ill.

Going by the title, I think you want to know how to save a route.

Thanks boat;
I remember now that you told me about this before. I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

I found that the route layer is the default, which is as it should be, and have never used the session layer at any time.

Saving should be self-intuitive, and if it isn't, the game isn't very good.
