To Specify Keynotes for Detail Components

The same procedure applies, whether you are specifying a keynote association for the first time or changing an existing one.

Note: If you change the keynote association for a detail component, it does not affect previously inserted keynotes for that detail component. Those detail components must be re-keynoted if you want them to reflect the newly specified keynote.

1. Click Home tab Details panel Detail Components .
2. In the Detail Component Manager, make sure the Current detail component database field displays the correct database.
3. In the hierarchical tree view, select the group that contains the detail component for which you want to specify a keynote, and then select the detail component in the size table at the bottom of the window.
4. Resize the Detail Component Manager, or use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window as necessary so that the Keynote column is visible.
5. Select the Keynote field for the selected detail component, right-click, and click Edit.
6. In the Select Keynote dialog box, make sure the correct database is displayed in the Keynote Database field, and then select the desired keynote from the hierarchical tree view.
7. Click OK.

   The key for the selected keynote is displayed in the Keynote field.

8. Click Close, and click Yes when prompted to save changes.

   The keynote is specified for the selected detail component and will be used for subsequent keynote insertions for that component.

   Note: If no keynote is specified for the detail component, the Select Keynote dialog box is displayed. If a keynote is specified for the components table or group to which the detail component belongs, the node representing that group is highlighted within the tree view. Keynotes cannot be specified at the table level using AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset functionality. This requires customization of the detail component database using Microsoft Access.
