Saving a project to give to someone else.

[sataustralia]

I have been reinventing the wheel, making an Adelaide suburban layout circa 1950.
Roads and trams as well.
I wish to save it to put on another computer before the game crashes..
How do I do it? I have looked and I suppose it is an often asked question so sorry bout that.

Make a new folder on your computer, call it "My CDP's " then in content manager click on your route that you want too save, on the dropdown list click on make CDP.
And direct it to that folder (as a backup).you can recover the route anytime and copy it back to your Content Manager or onto a USB pen, too pass it on to a friend.

You can drop a CDP file, and most any other file or photo, into the Skype dialog box, and send it to someone ... or send it via Yahoo Mail (it has a "large file" sending means).

That's very smart of you. I've seen too many Trainzers lose months if not years worth of work by not backing up.

As others have said, simply save to a CDP file in CMP. Be sure to save the route and any sessions you wish to keep I recommend following the advice of both people above: Save one copy to your hard disk AND a pen drive. AND email it to yourself or, if it's too big to email, sign up for a Cubby.com account and just upload it there. I recommend logging in at least once every few months to prevent your account from being automatically erased, but having a copy on the internet protects you from disaster that could strike all your computers and thumbdrives.

Another alternative to 'Yahoo Mail' or 'Cubby.com' is 'Google Drive', I have obtained files of over 1.5gb from others using this method.

I don't want to lose work at all.
Thanks to everyone, I am half way there.
When I swapped it over to the identical programme on the other machine some of the tracks and detail were missing.
Suggestions please?

Did you make a cdp of the route's dependencies?

If not, R-click the route, click "View Dependencies", click the bottom left button "View in main menu" and selecting 10 or a dozen dependencies at a time, make cdp's and call them something like "routename deps 1" , 2, 3, and so on until you have them all and send those when you send the route.
