Copying data between networks

Let us imagine the situation of an original network on which a number of corrections were made, such as re-zoning of an area. For example, details of changes could be: changes to node positions and changes to bends in links. We are going to illustrate how to create a branch of the original network and copy across the corrections.

This stage assumes that you have started InfoWorks WS Pro and that the Model Group window is open, showing the Newtown icon.

To copy data between networks:

  1. We are going to use two networks, both of them being provided to you in the Tutorial example:
  2. Open the latest version of the 'Newtown To Edit' network from the Model Group window. This is a modified network for which some changes have been implemented.
  3. Produce a report of the differences between the networks:
  4. Save the selected objects to a new 'All Edited Objects' selection list.
  5. Copy the node data to the new network:
  6. Make the changes to the links:

This has demonstrated some simple techniques to copy data across networks.
