After you draw the detail components, you create another view for the detail, and add reference keynotes to the detail
in this view. You use a smart keynoting tool to select the component, draw a leader line, and the reference key and
related note automatically display. The key and note are extracted from the property set data of the detail component.
NOTE To complete the metric version of this exercise, you must have the UK metric content installed on your system.
