Creating a Detail Component Database
Using the Detail Component Manager to create a new detail component
database requires the following basic steps:
1 Create a blank Microsoft
®
Access database by copying and
renaming the detail component database template
(AecDtlComponents-Template.mdb) located in
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2011\enu\Template\Details and
Keynotes.
2 Add the renamed database to the list of available databases. (For
detailed instructions, see Adding a Detail Component Database
to Available Databases on page 3545.)
3 Using the Detail Component Manager, add groups and subgroups
to reflect the major and minor divisions within the detailing
scheme. (For detailed instructions, see Adding Groups to a Detail
Component Database on page 3530.)
4 Add individual components within groups and subgroups as
applicable. (For detailed instructions, see Adding Components to
a Detail Component Database on page 3531.)
5 Add rows to the size tables as applicable for each group/subgroup,
editing table columns as desired. (For detailed instructions, see
Adding a Row to a Component Size Table on page 3524.)
When you exit the Detail Component Manager, the new database is available
to other users with access privileges.
Creating a Blank Detail Component Database

required tables and queries for detail component storage and retrieval. This
is the first step in the process of creating a new detail component database
using the Detail Component Manager.
1 Navigate toC:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2011\enu\Template\Details
and Keynotes.
2 Copy the file AecDtlComponents-Template.mdb and rename it as
desired.
3 Add the new blank database to the list of active databases, as
described under Adding a Detail Component Database to Available
Databases on page 3545.
