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 and draw a leader line;
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.

The section view that you created in the previous exercise displays in the detail drawing as

the window geometry in the section view.
