A.3 Unable to Add Cars to Inventory!

After installing XTrackCAD you're unable to add cars to the Car Inventory list; a message stating "No Car Prototypes are defined...." appears when you attempt to add cars to the Car Inventory list.

There's nothing wrong, you just need to load a Prototype definition file.

XTrackCAD includes a parameter file which defines many common North American Prototypes. The file is named protoam.xtp. It's loaded into XTrackCAD in the same way that a track, structure or car Parameter file would be loaded.

Other prototype definitions can be created using the Car Prototype dialog. Refer to Section 2.9.1.3 for detail.
