Copyinh Description Keys-Parent Control?

[Anonymous]

I was told that once I set up a description key that I could copy it to help save time, especially on DS Keys that have blocks associated with them. Unfortunately this isn't working.

I tried copying the basic DS Key - SWMH* (I right clicked the SWMH* (code) to make a copy of it. I renamed it and, used a different block, changed the layers to zero and saved it as SSMH. I saved it, then it proceeded to change all the characteristics of the SWMH to match the SSMH.

Is there some setting that I'm missing? Is there some parent/child association that I'm missing? I know that I can proceed to create each DS key from scratch but prefer not to.

Did you regen the screen? Did you right click on Point Groups in Prospector and select Update?

If that failed I would remove the points and reimport.

John I think the question is about getting the description keys set up before any points are inserted.

Sorry, I don't know enough to be of help otherwise.

What version of C3D are you using? Service Packs up to date?

I can do this, just as you think it should be working, in C3D2012 w/SP2.1.
