Description keys don't automatically work with import

I have been using description keys for a little bit now. For some reason now, my template has changed so that my description keys for my tree symbols doesn't work automatically. After I import my fbk file, I have to tell my points to Apply Description Keys to make my trees appear correctly.

 

The weird thing is it's only the tree symbols (both coniferous and deciduous). Also, these are the only two blocks in which I have applied an X-Y Scale. This allows me to show a larger symbol for a tree that is 500mm wide compared to a tree that is only 100mm wide.

What version & Service Pack?

 

I recently had a similar observation in 2015 where X-Y scales seemed to have no effect on desc. keys, but less than 2 weeks ago they worked just fine.

Sorry for the late reply. I have Civil 2014 and service pack 2 installed. I was thinking of just updating to 2015 anyways. Seems I've been having a lot of little issues with 2014. I'm sure 2015 is no different with there being little bugs, but I'm hoping what's causing me grief is fixed with 2015.
