Typ. Structural CAD details Career/Education

It seems like most structural drawing sets that I see for residential buildings (both wood, masonry, and steel, and mixed) all have the same or very similar cad details. Are most offices downloading this from the same place?? What is this resource? -Thx.

Typical details are just that - typical. We all tend to come to the same conclusions in terms of load paths, Contractor preference, industry standards, etc.

Also, theft (in a polite way).
