LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-04 AT 02:27 PM (EST)
OK, SO Im going to toss this out to the masses and see what you think,I sit down, create a route just to create a ref file with every possible shape that I have, all the default route shapes and all those I have downloaded.
Ok, So I use Route Riter to get rid of the dupes and do some general house cleaning to the Class headings of every item in the ref list. making it a little more easy to find certain shapes faster...and I used ref clean to do its thing. I used my own little standard of class naming such as
Buildings - Factorys
Buildings - Manufacturing
Vehicles - Cars
Vehicles - Trucks
Vegetation - Trees
Vegetation - Weeds
and so on...
So I do all the trackwork and priliminary stuff, this whole time I can go in the RE and look at my ref file list just as I saw it when I was editting it... everything is broken out into nice little sub class's and somewhere near 2500 items are showing up.So I go to one end of my route and I start putting in trees, and farms and roads and so on.... still everything shows up in the list of shapes I can use.. Im saving along the way, Im backing up every night. Now last night, Im working on a farm, I go to find some new tress to work with and all of a sudden, when I go to the selector, all of the class heading work I did is gone, theres only like the headings
Buildings
Vegetation
Track Object
Hazards
and just about 10 more headings... there were about 50 sub classes the way I had cleaned it up.
So I go to Vegetation, open it up, theres 2 trees??? there were like 40 before. I check the other class's and its the same, theres only a fraction of what was there..
I closed out, opened the ref file in the editor, and it looks exactly like it should, everything that was there, some 2500 shapes.
I go back in to the RE and now, theres even less class headings..This one has me stumped... I have had plenty of time where the ref file would be corupt for some reason or another and it crashed the re, but this thing load up, only it shows just a fraction of what the ref files shows is there in the editor..The pics below are the before and the nowGot any ideas?Robert C.
