DETAIL COMPONENT LAYERS

How do you change the layers that the components come in on when you insert them?

Those layers are now controlled by the active layer key in the drawing.
This same layer key controls the layering for other objects in ACA.

Layer Key Styles are under Multi-Purpose Objects in the Style Manager. Some
of the layer keys for details are FINE, HATCH, MED, THIN, WIDE. An easy way
to find them is to select on the Description heading in the layer key style
so that is sorts alphabetically. You can then go to the descriptions that
start with "Details" and change the associated layer information.

Note that the layer key is drawing specific.

You can also use an xml editor to Change the default layers of each of the
Dtl Components......It can be very time consuming...I usually just change
them as I need tem.
