PencilTips.PNG If you have made backup copies of your Picklists then you have already completed half the work. Use the steps described in the Wiki Page WikiLink.PNG How to Restore a Picklist to complete the move.


Access Your Current Picklists

Steps:
DotPoint1.JPG Open Content Manager and Your Picklists

PickListListinNewWindow.png
NotePad.PNG Notes:
The option Export to CDP does appear in the menu list but this will export all the selected assets (with ALL their meshes, textures, config.txt files, etc) and not just a list of <kuids>. The resulting .cdp file can easily be many megabytes in size.
DotPoint4.JPG Copy Assets in Picklist:
The Picklist assets will be listed by their kuids in the Asset KUID box of a new search filter
PickListSelectListofAssetsSelected.png
DotPoint1Blue.png Left Click inside the Asset KUID box and press  Ctrl  +  A  to select them ALL

NotePad.PNG Notes:

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

Steps: To copy a Picklist between different computers:-
DotPoint1Blue.png paste the list from Step: DotPoint4.JPG above into a text editor such as Notepad
DotPoint2Blue.png save it as a text file
DotPoint3Blue.png copy the file to your second computer
On the second computer, reverse the steps by:-
DotPoint4Blue.png opening the text document (in Notepad)
DotPoint5Blue.png select and copy all the items in the list to the clipboard
Then proceed as described below


Steps:
DotPoint5.JPG Open CM in the Destination Trainz and Create a New Filter:
DotPoint1Blue.png in the copy of Trainz where the Picklist is being transferred, open Content Manager
DotPoint2Blue.png start a new Custom filter
DotPoint3Blue.png paste ( Ctrl  +  V ) the asset list into the Asset KUID box
DotPoint4Blue.png delete the filter line Installed if it is present (but before you do see Tips: on the right)
PencilTips.PNG Before you delete the Installed filter line, change it from True to False. This will identify any assets in the pasted list that have not been installed in your new Content Manager. They will appear as Available for download.

Download and install each one and then delete the Installed filter line.
