How do you change the layer that the detail component manager uses as it's default? I have a Layer Key Style for my company set up but have noticed the detail component manager uses some other layering name convention. Is there a way to attach my Layer Key overrides or some other way to change the layer names it uses?

While I am sure there is a way, I would ask myself if the tail weren't wagging the dog in this case. If you have ever exploded a detail component, you will notice that there are several layers included with each element, which control color, plotted lineweight, visibility, etc.

Again, would you really need to change all that for the sake of a stand-alone key style?

The layer keys for the details are FINE, HATCH, MED, THIN, and WIDE. Add these to your layer key style and assign the layer names that you want.
