The details feature in AutoCAD Architecture has a framework for content that can be customized and extended in several different ways. Detail components are stored in Microsoft
Access databases, which end users can modify or even create using the Detail Component Manager.
Developers may prefer to work on detail component databases using Microsoft Access directly, in which case they will definitely need to refer to the descriptions and code samples in this appendix. However, it is recommended that any user be familiar with this information before attempting to create or customize a detail component database.
