pware,you seem to take pleasure in disagreeing with most everything I post.
May I assure you that I have not singled you out, nor was I even aware of any previous "disagreeing posts" in response to any of your previous posts. I rarely take any notice of the posters username when I type a response to a question or a point of view. I do, however, look at the timeline. But my apologies if I have offended.
I can assure you, however, that using UDS does not fit into my session development regimen.
That is fine. Each of us has our own way of working.
If I am in UDS and save the session, then the new session has the trains in new places. If I don't save the session, then the new edits I have made with objects in one of the session layers are not saved.
It would depend on what you have in the Session layers that needs editing. Normally, the only things I place in Session layers are consists.
On occasion I do have scenery objects that I only want to appear in the particular Session undergoing testing/development so they are in their own Session layer. If I need to edit those items during the testing process then I will temporarily move that layer from the Session Layer Group to the Route Layer Group in the original Session before testing. When all has been completed to my satisfaction, I will move the layer back to the Session Layer Group in the original Session. If I am working with industry settings for objects that are in the Route but have their properties saved in the Session Data, then I set those parameters in the original Session before I start testing.
If the edit involves changing any Session Rules (e.g. driver commands, new drivers, new consists, etc) then I make sure that I
reset the relevant Session Rules, or all the Session Rules, in the Session Editor before I switch back to Driver.
So if I am developing a session for eventual uploading, which I do, then nether session while in Surveyor is what I want.
I have used the above techniques to develop sessions that can be uploaded without any difficulty. But each of us has our own way or working.
I feel I have my share of common sense, thank you.
I am sure that you do. My "common sense" remark was not intended as a "put down" to you (or anyone else) but as a general statement on using any new tool.
Regards.
