Dave,
If you only use 'System Names' then you are stuck because those are the actual hardware connections, and changing the hardware obviously requires different connections. However if you have used 'User Names' for each item, then you can move that association to a new system connection. (one by one) The importance of this is that you will not need to change all the places that use each item like you would when using the system names to identify items.

For those users who have spent hours and hours creating their 'Whole Layout' file using 'Internal', perhaps over several months of learning, does the act of changing to a specific DCC manufacturer automatically change the 'System Names' already created within the xml file or do we have to go through the whole file again and edit each System Name bearing in mind the need to maintain stability within the file? This question also applies to those of us who decide to adopt a second Manufacturer when we hive off the Layout Control from the Train Control. If I read the responses correctly, in my case, the Default was originally 'Internal' Naming within JMRI.
