The information in this Wiki Page applies to TANE, TRS19 and Trainz Plus. It will show you how to move a Picklist to another installation of Trainz.


If you have made backup copies of your Picklists then you have already completed half the work. Use the backup Picklists and steps described in the How to Restore a Picklist section of the How to Backup a Picklist Trainz Wiki page to complete the move.

Steps		  Open CM and Your Picklists

From the Trainz Launcher
  1. select Manage Content
  2. in Content Manager open the Content menu
  3. select Edit Picklist



This will display all your current Picklists.

   Select the Picklist to be Backed Up:
  1. right mouse click on the required Picklist
  2. select Open Picklist from the popup menu


This will open the Picklist
   Select Picklist Contents:

Transfer the List to Another Copy of Trainz

Notes:

If you are transferring the Picklist to another computer then you will need to:-

  1. paste the list from Step 5 above into a program such as Notepad
  2. save it as a text file
  3. copy the file to your second computer.

There you can reverse the steps by:-

  1. opening the document (in Notepad)
  2. select and copy to the clipboard all the items in the list
Then proceed as described below.


Step 6: Open CM in the Destination Trainz and Create a New Filter
  1. in the copy of Trainz where the Picklist is being transferred, open Content Manager
  2. start a new filter
  3. paste (Ctrl-V) the asset list into the Asset KUID box


Step 7: Create a New Picklist

The pasted asset list will appear in the CM display window, as shown below.



  1. check for any assets labelled as Available for download and download these assets
  2. select an entry and then select all (Ctrl-A)
  3. right mouse click on any entry and select Add to Picklist and then New Picklist from the popup menus


Step 8: Enter a Name for the Picklist



Enter a name for the Picklist and click Ok
