Custom line typ associated with a DWT template file

[oneMSN]

Is the any way of creating a custom line type in AutoCAD Lt which I can store or associate with a DWT template file, so that the line type is available on all drawings based on the template?

I do not want to use a custom .lin file as I have to share my drawings with others who have their own copy of Lt, and I do not want to burden them with a custom lin file.

It is possible that I misunderstand the concept of creating a custom line type, perhaps it is only me who would need the custom lin file and the line type would follow the drawing without me having to send other users the lin file, just would like some clarification on how this works.

No it can't be done.

Custom line types are always saved in a .lin file.

To send the file with the drawing to the customer it's always best to use etransmit as this puts ALL the files that are needed to open the drawing into one zip file

A good amount of threads and cases I've seen that share files with co-workers and customers use the ETRANSMIT method of sharing drawing files. 

Does your client or customer have an issue with the Etransmit method? 

What have they done before when sharing information?

Na its not customers it's colleges who would dislike the extra hassle. I'll just live without. Seems a shame tho that I cant put a custom line in the dwg db.
