I have been asked this question before and I thought that it will make a good post…
How can I use Description Keys from other drawings???... Can I import Description Keys on my drawing???... When I try to drag and drop them, it doesn’t work…
Sure it is way, just open one of your drawings that has your DescKey Set on it in Civil 3D 2010 or any older version, make sure that you delete all the information on it (for this call the ERASE (E) command from the command line and type ALL, please check that all your layers are ON, THAWED and UNLOCKED before doing this) and PURGE the drawing, do a save as just in case, so you don’t damage or overwrite something…
Now open your Civil 3D 2012 and insert the drawing that you just created and clean in 2010 or any oldest version using the INSERT (I) command.
This will bring any styles and also the Description Key set to your drawing in 2012 that you can save as a template or work on it.
Here is a short video that illustrates what I am saying, just in case that you are like me…
