folder, permissions for individual databases (*.mdb files) can then be set on
a per-user basis. Note, however, that this arrangement allows users to access
and edit other content within the folder, such as drawing, image, and XML
recipe files, unless you set permissions on these files individually to prevent
it. For this reason, you may want to keep the folders containing keynote and
detail content separate from other content installed with AutoCAD Architecture
so that write permission is not available to all users for all content.
Merging Old and New Detail Component Databases
If you have modified one of the default detail component databases supplied
with a previous release of AutoCAD Architecture, and you want to migrate
your modifications to the corresponding database in the current release, you
can do so using the Detail Component/Keynote Database Migration utility.
For detailed instructions, see Migrating Detail Component and Keynote
Databases on page 3963.
IMPORTANT Beginning with AutoCAD Architecture 2011, the US detail component
and keynote databases supplied with the software use the CSI MasterFormat 2004
standard. Using the Detail Component/Keynote Database Migration utility to
migrate your customizations from a database that uses the CSI MasterFormat 95
standard (as in Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007 and previous releases) is not
supported. The utility will not properly migrate custom records from the older
database and may errantly overwrite records in the new database with
MasterFormat 95 data. If you want to use a MasterFormat 95 database with the
current release of AutoCAD Architecture, you can load it as described under Adding
a Detail Component Database to Available Databases on page 3545 or Adding a
Keynote Database on page 3597. Note that the older database must be located with
the previous release content and must maintain that content folder structure to
function properly. An older detail component database will not function with 2008
or later US details content. Likewise, an older keynote database will not
automatically keynote 2008 or later US details content; it will only keynote detail
components inserted using previous version details or details in previous version
drawings. The Detail Component/Keynote Database Migration utility can still be
used to migrate records from one CSI MasterFormat 95 database to another.
