What happened to the standard details? I have recently changed jobs and the standard details that came with LandFX when I set it up at my former employment are not showing up with the recent install at my new employment. I thought they were cloud based and should be accessible? What am I missing?
Also, when I tried to print details by category nothing happens. The batch printing process doesn't seem to fire. Any thoughts or workarounds besides manually selecting each detail and printing?

Brandon,
Your standard details should definitely be populating the view in the detail explorer, if they're not take a look in Land F/X/Details folder and you should see a "standard.xml" file. Try replacing it with the one attached below and see if they show up then.
As for the batch printing issue, are you getting any of the prompts asking to clear your layout tab etc or do you get no response as soon as you select "Each detail within the selected category" and click ok?

Ok. Details are showing up now. Thanks.
As for the print detail issue. It goes as far as the "erase layout" dialog/prompt then disappears.

Brandon,
If you print a single detail out of that category, will the batch print work on the next round?

It will only print one detail then stops. Never gives the prompt or option to go to the next detail.
Ok, it sounds like the issue you're running into is that since you haven't printed/used the other details they are not downloaded to your system so it will not batch print them. You'll need to load up each of the details in the category at least once so they're downloaded to your Detail folder, then it should print them all when you go through the batch print.
What is the most efficient way of loading all the details so they will pull right? I can see them if I am using the explorer but I cannot see them if I try to add them to a project.
Brandon,
If your intention is to just print all of our details, we have a PDF for that here:

It is the Section U button at the end.

This helps to a point, but I still can't load the Details listed under the Standard section. I can preview them in explorer but I cannot add them to a project under detail manager.
Well that's a different issue -- why can you not add them to a project?
When you go to assign or add a detail to a project, they should be accessible.

I don't know why I can't add them. That is what I am attempting to discover.
Here are a couple of screenshots for your reference.

Well this is embarrassing, we should have caught that.
It seems it is not populating those details if you do not have the folder created. So note if you create a 01 folder under the _Standard_ folder, you will then see that division -- but since there are not details tagged within just that folder, it is empty.
So if you were to make the folder path 32, 12, 16, you would be able access those two Asphalt Paving details.
Obviously this will be fixed, as this is crazy to expect you to create all of those folders on your own. We are slammed for the update tomorrow, however, so it almost certainly won't get done for then. So in the meantime, you can manually create the folder paths for just the few categories you need now, and a future update (probably next week) will auto-populate all of those folders.
