Be very careful when using this method. The UIDs are important. Here is a quote from Matt

Quote:
Duplicate UID numbers for shapes do not appear to matter.

I'd beg to differ with this comment - highworth has got some 1800 object tiles and when I ran TSUtil over it (part of Route Riter these days) it found enormous numbers of duplicated id's as Martin did this trick as well.

What's wrong with it?

Well, look at the structure of the file(s) - you'll see they specifically use those ID's numerous times in various places so a level crossing object in the tdb might refer to its visual placement in the world file (or vice versa, I forget) - the problem is that if you duplicate id's and the first instance no longer points to the right kind of object you're in for potential crashing going on.

Given the limitations I think it is probably the only way forwards - but I would emplore anyone using the technique to also follow it up at the end with a tidy-up session using TSUtil and manually going back and cleansing up all the ID's - TS Util lists all the dupes and tells you what to change them to in order to fix it, so it's quite easy, just a long job if there are lots of them.

Matt.
