2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Symbology.

   The Production Symbology toolbar appears.

4. Click Options > Import Specification.

   The Open Specifications Transfer File dialog box appears.

   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.
