I have no problems with placing and naming portals in Surveyor, but populating them with consists and drivers in the session while I setup drivers and consists throughout my routes.
UDS I admit is great for testing things such as ATLS and TRC crossings. Place short consist, test in Driver and then return to Surveyor for more configuration and fixing if necessary.
In some ways, this setup makes the whole Surveyor-Driver setup we've dealt with for 20 years obsolete. If the consists and schedules could be reset to starting positions, and not just the schedules, then that would complete that part of the puzzle. This would make setting up routes and sessions so much easier because there would no longer be a worry of what's where, or what's on the wrong layer.
