The latest version of V6 has a much better implementation of their detail module. They are now using the open design alliance dll’s and the imports and exports are excellent! You have the choice of storing the details in the database or as a file on the server. We reviewed this yesterday in our weekly V6 meeting and it was very impressive. I still think we will use a hybrid method for our company. Export the generic details from V6, then roll through them programatically, see what assemblies were used to create the detail, search a database to see which of our standard details represents those assembly combinations then replace the generic detail with ours. I think this will result in less clean up for the draftsman.
