You can use the Settings tree to manage description keys.
Description keys are organized into sets. The description key sets for a drawing are listed in the Settings tree under the Description Key Sets collection, which is found under the Point collection.
Each description key set contains one or more description keys. To view or edit the description keys contained within a set, use the DescKey Editor. For more information, see Editing Description Keys.
When description key matching is active and a drawing point is created, each description key code in every description key set in the drawing is searched for a match. You can control the order in which the description key sets are searched.
Include description key sets in a drawing template so they can be used in multiple drawings and shared with other people. For more information, see Working with Drawing Templates.
