Thanks: so you never load the correct linetype, you just rely on AutoCADLT to do it correctly by itself?
I can repeat that in every AutoCAD/LT version from 2019 to 2022. That's not a good method if you want 100% control all the time. Seek out Autodesk Support from your Accounts Page and report the old problem, see what suggestions they have other than the one I am going to suggest, aka creating your own template file that is 100% preset with all linetypes and layers already defined in it.
Leave your macros for an occasional need in an existing file as opposed to using them all the time to avoid 15-20 minutes of time to create a unique DWT file just for you.
1. have these layers already defined in a custom uniue to you DWT file perfectly 100%, then just opening that DWT file.
2. s click a button to run a macro for one of your layers ONLY if you need it, only in a DWG file with no issues.
3. You can import layers from template files using ADCENTER or even just INSERT command with a block.

Hmmm, I think I see your point about letting autoCAD find the linetype. I had thought that was what the command was doing, but happy to be wrong if I can see why.
I will put some thought into adding the layers to the files. I work remotely with the client and it can be quite difficult to get them to change the way they work, so I was hoping to use the command to keep all the custom stuff at my end.
Thanks for your time on this, I do appreciate it.
