I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Geoinformatics, with my main areas of study being Geography and Environmental Studies, GIS, Computer Science and Information Systems. I have always had a passion for computers and geography, so studying and working in the GIS field has given me the best of both worlds.

My questions/answers will be written in South African (UK) English - please do not "correct" my spelling.

This is not possible at 10.1 either.

comment How to avoid field map change when altering file locations in a model (e.g. using feature class to feature class tool)?
Field mapping is still an issue at 10.1. if I absolutely need to have it in a model, I normally put that section in a submodel, fiddle with the field mapping, then save and clear any data from the main model. Once I open the submodel, the field mappings are still intact, even if I move the model to a different location. It's a ridiculous workaround, but if you don't want to go the Python route as blah238 mentioned (although I do agree with the viewpoint), it might be worth a try.

comment Do transfer edges add to the distance cost of a route?
I'm not actually sure what I meant when I asked this question, I was feeling quite overwhelmed by NA at the time. I think I was worried that if the stop was offset from the route, and a transfer edge of say 2m connected them, would that lengthen the route by 2m? I don't think that makes sense, but you have answered the question in terms of how the solve works, so I will accept :)

Yes, we came to the same conclusion by creating duplicate points for each route. Thank you

comment Is there an inbuilt arcpy method to insert a new line?
@JasonScheirer I know it is a Python issue, I guess I wasn't specific enough. I have tried escaping '\n' using the several ways available, as stated in the question I linked to. The difference is this seems to be a limitation in the Calculate Value tool as well, and not just Calculate Field.
