I am drawing up a topo survey and some of my DescKeys wont work. Most of them work, but some just dont. My J-BOX, PWR RISER and gate post. Attached is an image of my desckey and point. Am I doing something wrong?

Get rid of all spaces in your raw descriptors and keys.  Replace them with underscores or dashes.

Standardize on all CAPS too.

You might also look for any conflicts in your DescKeys with wildcards - say if you have a key as J* or P* those would be used first and J-BOX and PWR RISER would be ignored.

Double-checked the Point File as well to make sure it's using the right field codes.

Thanks! Using the under score worked. So dashes, spaces and lower case point descriptions wont work with the desckeys?

The description key uses space as a delimiter between fields, there is no option to change that. Anything else is seen as a part of the description/field.
