Custom Parts List problems, line widths

I am setting up a custom parts list to represent the existing style we use at our company. The problem I am having is with the lose of lineweights when the block is inserted as a parts list. I created the list using the polyline table that is currently used. The table is on layer 0 (0.000" lines, black) but the polylines have a width of 0.020". The text & attributes are on a dimension layer (0.006", blue). If I simply insert the blocks into the drawing all the lineweights and colors are correct, either by layer or by polyline width. When the parts list in inserted as the compiled parts list all the lines and text follow the lineweight of the layer that the parts list is inserted on. The colors though are correct to their respective layers. Is there a way to force Acad to maintain the lineweights of the parts list as they are defined by their original entities and/or layers?

Hi,
May I know what is the version of ACM you are using?
