Importing specifications (Aeronautical Solution)
You can transfer specifications from one database to another as an XML file. This allows you to share modifications and updates with other users.
Steps:
- Start ArcMap.
 - On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Symbology.
 - 
Click the Visual Specifications button 
 on the Production Symbology toolbar.
The Visual Specifications dialog box appears.

 - 
Click Options > Import Specification.
The Open Specifications Transfer File dialog box appears.
 - Navigate to the location in which the file you want to import is stored.
 - 
Click Open.
If the representation rules were included in the file and the style on the local system already has a representation rule with the same name, you will be asked if you want to override that specific symbol with the one in the file.

 - Check the box next to Apply for all imported Representation Rules of the <style>.style. 
This will ensure that your response in the next step is followed for all symbols that exist both in the specification and on the local system.
 - 
Click Yes or No.
The Visual Specifications dialog box appears with the file you selected.
 - Click OK.
