AutoCAD Help-> Customization Guide->Custom Linetypes->Text in Custom Linetypes

 

Express Tools Help->MKLTYPE

 

These should get you what you need.

Here I a line type file most anything that you will use should be in here, If you have anything to add jest copy one that is already mad and edit it to what you want. If you want to have access to the linetypes in all your drawings load all of them into you template and they will always be there. shange the .txt to .lin
