I'm having a problem with my glossary using the nomencl package. As you can see, there is no description, just endless dots... Anyone with the same issue?

nomencl just dots example

I followed the example here: http://strobelstefan.org/?p=153

Header File:

\usepackage{nomencl}
\let\abbrev\nomenclature    

\renewcommand{\nomname}{Glossar und Abkürzungsverzeichnis}

\setlength{\nomlabelwidth}{.25\hsize}

\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{#1 \dotfill}
\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}

\makenomenclature

Example chapter:

\nomenclature{CID}{Description}%
\nomenclature{DTM}{Description}%
\nomenclature{FDT}{Description}%
\nomenclature{SDD}{Description}%

Table of contents:

\printnomenclature

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Glossar und Abkürzungsverzeichnis}

    Welcome! Please help us to help you and provide a minimal working example with fully compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...}, ending with \end{document} and in between the code illustrating your problem. It doesn't make fun to build a compilable LaTex file from given code snippets. – JMP Apr 25 '16 at 11:11

This works for me:

Assuming, the document is called foo.tex, use 

makeindex -s nomencl.ist -o foo.nls foo.nlo 
pdflatex foo

after compilation. The foo.nlo file is generated during the LaTeX compilation, the real nomenclature file is foo.nls. 

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\usepackage{nomencl}
\let\abbrev\nomenclature    

\renewcommand{\nomname}{Glossar und Abkürzungsverzeichnis}

\setlength{\nomlabelwidth}{.25\hsize}

\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{#1 \dotfill}
\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}

\makenomenclature



\nomenclature{CID}{Description}%
\nomenclature{DTM}{Description}%
\nomenclature{FDT}{Description}%
\nomenclature{SDD}{Description}%


\begin{document}


\tableofcontents

\printnomenclature

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Glossar und Abkürzungsverzeichnis}

\end{document}
