Not sure if this is the best place to create the post. Whats the best way to appraoch the creation of a database within AutoCAD of stadard details based on keyword search. What do I need to start the process. It would be nice to include a preview (enlargement of detail ) of the results before bringing it into current drawing. I know a little programming, little bit of LISP. Keyword searches on this forum and internet have produced all the responses that I am not after. Links to start the progress would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This isn't directly an answer to your question. It already exists if you use a vertical such as AutoCAD Architecture or AutoCAD MEP. Even the contentexplorer can essentially act that way.
I have used AutoCAD MEP going back to the early version of Building Sytems and I am sure this wasnt built into the vertical. Right now the way we access Details is a bloated sheetset manager which I think is highly ineffective. I am pretty familiar with Content Manager and doesnt do what I need. I think IMHO the content manager is still one the worst parts of AutoCAD MEP. I have briefly seen this at other companies but the code is strictly kept under lock and key.
