<h3>Set Cars (multiple)</h3>
<p>You can select <strong>Set Cars</strong> from the <strong><a href=
"Ops_Cars.shtml">Cars</a></strong> window's <strong>Tools</strong> menu. This allows you to
change the Location, destination, status, or Train assignment for a group of Cars. This tool
works the same as the <a href="#setcarlocation"><strong>Set Car Location</strong></a> tool
described below, except that multiple Cars are modified in one action.<br>
Select the Cars you want in the Cars table by Shift/Command + clicking their names, and then
select <strong>Set Cars</strong> from the Tools menu. The first selected Car becomes the
default, and if you press <span class="textbutton">Change</span> ,
all of the other selected Cars will have the same settings as the default Car. Be sure to
<span class="textbutton">Save</span> in the <a href=
"Ops_Cars.shtml">Cars</a> window if you want to keep your changes.</p>
<p>The following message displays when you choose <strong>Set Cars</strong> if (one of) the
Cars you selected are part of a Train. This warns that when you save the changes from the
<strong>Set Cars</strong> window, those Cars are no longer part of a previously built Train
is was assigned to.</p>

<p>After creating a Car, you can set the Car's Location, and optionally the Car's destination
and Train by using the <span class="textbutton">Set</span> button found
for each Car in the <strong><a href="Ops_Cars.shtml">Cars</a></strong> window. Normally the
Car's destination and assigned Train are generated by the program, but you can use this panel
and its options to force a Car to a specific Location using a specified Train.</p>
<p>The following message displays when you choose <strong>Set Car</strong> if the Car is part
of a Train. This warns that when you Save the changes from the <strong>Set Cars
Location</strong> window those Cars are no longer part of a Train.</p>
