The focus of this page is on showing a new user the ins and outs 'HowTo' use and do things a Trainzer needs to do with CM/CMP as fast as possible. Generally speaking we use CM to grab things that are new, fix things which are broken (or have been classed so by CM), and sort things into groups and collections we need to better manage what we are really trying to do and accomplish.

In the mundane, Normal case that generally means readying a route for Driving by locating and installing missing dependencies or repairing those needed up to the demands of the local needs.

In the more advanced we use CM in several ways when building a route for setting up so-called filters, sort criteria that list assets we can then access in surveyor to speed the process of route construction; there is no reason to look past assets we won't be using like or buildings designed for the Mediterranean climates of southern Europe for an all diesel line that never sniffs electric locomotives, or a location in Northern Canada.
