Using Description Keys and Figure Prefix in other files not working

I had a file that I used to set all of the codes, description keys, and figure prefixes. Still, when I tried to use these things on a different survey file, it did not import the points using any linework, and it did not follow the styles specified in the description keys, even though I have copied and pasted it to the new file.

How are you importing the points? You have to use the survey database to process linework.

The description keys, point styles and label styles, figure styles should be in your DWT that you start all new drawings from. Then to get the linework to process you must import into a survey database with the figure prefix database set as the current.

In Toolspace on the Survey tab, hit the button for Settings (below)

Then make sure before import you set "Linework Processing Defaults" and "Figure Defaults"
