Yep, I started a detail library a couple years back, when we were using 2011 I believe. The file contains nothing but drafting views, and one schedule showing me a list of all the details, and a calculation of the total number of details. I have different Drafting view types for different details (doors, windows, site, annotative, casework, etc). The view titles also start with Door, Window, Casework, etc. so that they will sort together when using the Insert Views From File tool. Because of this, I use the Title On Sheet parameter to allow the view to have a little "nicer" title when it's placed on a sheet.
