4. Confirm insertion settings.
5. Place the detail in the appropriate drawing location.
6. Check that the detail displays correctly and meets project standards.

5. Validate the Inserted Data

After inserting symbols or details:

• Confirm the correct library item was used.
• Verify placement is on the correct layer.
• Check scale and orientation.
• Ensure the inserted content complies with drawing standards and project requirements.
