You will find some routes seem locked by the auther to prevent editing. LSC is one that springs to mind. Don't know if anyone knows how to override this?

Any route requires a ref file, if your route is Routnam, you need a file Routnam.ref
The length of the file is minimum one object. So take the ref file of one of the standard routes,
copy that to your Routnam folder, rename the .ref file to Routnam.ref.
Edit the ref file with wordpad. Keep the objects which you want to use in the ref file, remove the
other objects. Look closely at the ref file to see how it works with the aspects of each object
But be very carefull to balance the opening/closing brackets

Static (
FileName ( OE_Factory.s )
Shadow ( RECT )
Class ( "Buildings" )
Align ( None )
Description ( OE_Factory1 )
)

I believe many commercial routes have no ref file, thus locking it for editing.

If you want to edit it, then fine - Routeriter will create a new REF for you,

But BE WARNED - THIS IS HIGHLY INADVISEABLE, WILL INVALIDATE MOST WARRANTIES AND SHOULDN'T BE ATTEMPTED UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
