Adding a Vehicle to a CAD Event
Vehicles can be added to CAD events by going to the CAD Function menus and selecting the Add Vehicles menu item.
The Add Vehicles window allows users to make entries into a vehicle file that is associated with a CAD event number. The CAD Add Vehicles window will also show all vehicles that are associated with the current CAD event.
