To open the Detail Sketch Manager, navigate to Drawing Area.Detail Sketches.Settings, and then click Library. The Detail Sketch Manager window consists of a toolbar (A), a list of available detail sketches (B), a viewing area (C), and a grid for data input (D).
Detail Sketch Manager Toolbar
Detail Sketch List
Displays the detail sketches that are available for the active style. When you select
a detail sketch in the list, a graphical view of the sketch displays in the detail
sketch viewing area, as shown below.

When you open the Detail Sketch Manager in I-Configure, the software looks in the folder location defined by the Drawing Area.Detail Sketches.Settings.Path setting and displays only those files types defined by the Drawing Area.Detail Sketches.Settings.Format setting.
-
When you open the Detail Sketch Browser in Smart Isometrics or in Spoolgen and select a style in the Style list, the software extracts the path to the detail sketch folder from the selected
style, and populates the detail sketch list with detail sketches that match the defined
files type. The folder location and file format are defined by the Drawing Area.Detail Sketches.Settings.Path and Drawing Area.Detail Sketches.Settings.Format settings in Isogen Configuration.
-
The current version of the software does not support .dgn V8 CELL libraries. All other file formats, .dwg, .dgn(CELL Library),
and .sym (.igr/.sha), are fully supported.

You can use the Search box on the toolbar to limit the list of available sketches.
