Not sure where you're putting your industry configurations. You place the industries in a route, not their settings. Then create a session or sessions for the route and set up the industry configurations in the session(s). Unique industry configurations for each session that you create for that route.

Industry configurations are saved with the session and not with the map.

Just use the Edit Session button to open the session you saved when you saved the route.

The bottom line here is that you can't. One thing is to save a session with all the settings, another is to save a configuration of a particular industry or invisible speeds or switch controllers. So far, I haven't seen anybody stating how to save these. And it is needed!

Well, the easiest way to save industry settings for a route is ihmo to create a base session and do this immedately when you start a new route. So when you start name your route "whatever" and make the session name "whatever base". Now the next time you start up trainz again and you want to edit further on your route don't select edit route, but go to sessions and choose edit session with your base session selected. In surveyor open the layer flyout and select a route layer to work further on your route.

I don't know if it's really nescessairy, because industry settings are allways saved in the session, but I allways switch to the session layer when setting up those industrial properties. Just to be sure.
One caveat though, the property window of portals seems only to show up when in the route layer, at least over here, but their settings too go in the current session file as expected.

One last note, I found out the hard way.:hehe: Do not be tempted to change the route layer in the property windows to session layer, because you think these are typical session settings you're making. That will break route and session to an unreparable state. At least with me it did....

Hope this helps.

The only way I know is to edit the config.txt file and set the values to whatever you want the default to be.
