Applying Detail Component Properties to Linework
Linework that you have drawn using two-dimensional (2D) AutoCAD
commands can be keynoted using a keynoting tool to select a keynote from
the database. If you have multiple occurrences of the linework, and you want
them to have the same keynote, you can specify a keynote by applying the
properties of the detail component for which the desired keynote is already
specified. If a tool for inserting the component already exists, you can apply
the tool properties to the linework. If no such tool exists, you can use the
DtlComp command to select a component from the Detail Component
Manager, and its ASsign id command line option to assign its properties to
the linework.
Applying Detail Component Properties to Linework from a Tool
Use this procedure to apply the properties of a detail component insertion
tool to linework in a drawing so that the linework can be keynoted with the
keynote of the component the selected tool inserts.
1 Draw the linework.
2 Right-click a tool on a tool palette, and click Apply Detail
Component Data to Linework.
3 Select the linework, and press ENTER.
The linework can now be keynoted just as if it were a component
inserted using the selected tool.
