You have almost answered your own question. In CM right click on the session and chose clone from the drop down menu.

In the in game session editor the save as command apparently does not always work as expected (some session settings can be lost) but if you make a small change to the session then exit surveyor chosing save as new session will give you a session which you can edit back to the original by deleteing the change you just made. This should be a clone of the original.

I usually use the first method because this seems to always work as intended and you can change the name of the session by editing the config.txt file.

Hi,

I made a clone in CMP.
I have a few more questions;---
How do I rename this session, I have tried using CCP and I have failed.
I added the missing stock tried to save but I keep getting save as a new route and session. This places a new "Hawes Junction " route along side the original so I have two entries for "Hawes Junction" this can't be right or is it?
What do I do now?

Hi,

I put your idea to the test and it failed, there must be something more to this and I don't know what.
Might be better to give up on this as i don't seam to be getting anywhere.
Thank you for your help.

After cloning a kuid, it appears in the CM3.3 main view panel as open for edit. Right click it and select Edit - Edit in Explorer to open it in Notepad. Double click the config.txt file and change the username value to a new name. Then save and commit.

This is a common frustration with TS2010: you make changes to a session layer only but the game insists you must save the route and session layers. To be sure you can only alter the session layers it's a good idea to lock the route layers using the Layers tools tab in Surveyor and make sure a session layer is selected before you start editing.
If, after taking these precautions, TS2010 still insists you save a new route along with the edited session, go along with this, then close Surveyor and open CMP. Open the newly-created session for editing, and then open the 'config.txt' file in a text editor. Find the 'map-kuid' tag and change the kuid from that of the newly-created route to that of the Hawes Junction built-in route. Save the config changes then save the edited session. Now you can delete the newly-created route. Re-launch Trainz and you should find your newly-created session listed amongst the sessions for the Hawes Junction built-in route.

Hi,

I tried out your idea and I can't get it to work I keep getting unable to edit, I have only looked the track, the session is showing as active by the eye symbol. A pity this because I have been trying to put the session "Garsdale Connection Active" to rights. I tried a different approach and started a fresh by creating it all under Garsdale Connection Active as a route. Now this is working but the AI trains are over running the platform, half in half out, will spend some more time on the Invisible Speed Signals and see if I can implement them into the route.
