Resources for Multiple Description Key Sets

The use of multiple Description Key Sets and the Description Key Set Priority property in Civil 3D production drawings has long been a significant productivity tool.
The supplied Sheet content of the Description Key Set Tool are designed to maximize the employment of these important production Civil 3D capabilities for Point resolutions.

Production DescKeySet Sheets

Previously supplied Release 8 and Release 7 Spreadsheet Tool Sheets and DWG resource drawings are still supplied without changes.

Customer choice and application of custom Point Styles and/or Layer assignments is easier from the Sheet and XML file resources.

The supplied Sheets were constructed with the aid of the Codes Tool.
In other words, a Filtered list of Codes produced the Sheet list and various Format column details.

The Sheet naming convention is the same as the Framework Description Key Set naming convention.
See the Framework Standards PDF documentation supplied with your version of the product for the naming rules employed.

The Production Sheet content typically includes generic Description Key Sets:

  • Basic - A Key Set with properties set and Basic descriptions
  • Comp - A Key Set with properties set and Comp or Core descriptions
  • Pass - A Key Set with properties set and Pass descriptions

Both double-digit and single-digit line codes are supported
Sheet. XML, and DWG resources employ the "##-" or "#-" name convention.

New Sheet Creation Suggestions

It is strongly suggested that you create these 3 typical versions for each Sheet that you create before adding detailed additional properties to the Sheet and XML output file detail.
This consistent methodology will help you maintain the Description Key Set XML and resultant drawing file resources in the long term.
Edited copies of the Sheets will allow you to develop and maintain more effective and managed Description Key Set content with less work.

See the Points in Civil 3D section for more help, posts, and videos.

Updates to Previously Suppilied Description Key Sets

    This allows users to more easily identify the purpose and usage of the supplied Codes.
  • Older 2-character NOT Key lists were generally replaced with updated 4-character Codes
    3-character Not Key lists may still be employed
  • More basic Structures Codes are included with more detailed Codes Lists are supplied in separate Structure resources.
  • Updated Codes lists are documented by additional Sheet Filters in the Codes Tool and in
    Production Sheets supplied in the Description Key Set Tools for Layer Standards

Updated New Production Sheets
