Setting the Detail Component and Keynote Databases for a Project
Use this procedure to set the detail component databases and keynote databases for the project.
Details are components in a drawing that are used to sketch detailed, large-scale views. Typical detail components are
bolts, concrete reinforcing bars, and brick details. You can select details from one or more detail component database
(MDB) files. When you set up a project, you can specify which detail component databases to use in the project. That
way, you ensure consistent details across the project.
Keynotes are components for annotating construction documents. You can select keynotes from one or more keynote
database (MDB) files. When you set up a project, you can specify which keynote databases to use in the project. That
way, you ensure the compliance with a specific keynoting standard; for example the CSI standard.
For more information, see “ Detail Components ” on page 1917 and “ Annotation and Keynoting Tools ” on page 1951.

Configuring Project Standards Files
The Project Standards feature lets you establish, maintain and synchronize standards across all drawings in an AutoCAD
Architecture project. Project standards include standard styles, display settings, and AutoCAD standards that are used
across all project drawings. Standard styles and display settings are specified in one or more standards drawings associated
with the project. Project drawings can then be synchronized with these standards throughout the project lifecycle,
either automatically, or on demand. In addition, you can designate a tool palette group and a Content Browser library
that are associated with project standard styles.
