Automatically Load Styles from a .dwt template when opening older drawings

I am looking for a way to Automatically Load Styles from a .dwt template when opening older drawings. I have certain settings in my .lsp file set so they are activated whenever I open Civil3d (such as OSNAPZ set to 1) and I was hoping for a way to do this for loading drawing styles. 

If I use the tool "IMPORTSTYLESANDSETTINGS" then I am able to achieve this goal but I would like for it to automatically do this to all of our older drawings as well. Any input is welcome!

 

Thanks,

Tyler

I do believe you need to revise your thinking.  Lisp files are not stored in .dwt but can be loaded within a startup lisp ahead of opening a dwg.

For instance there is acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp.  Check these out to suit your needs.

I would suggest inserting the old file into a new blank drawing from your template. This tends to work better than opening the old drawing directly.

If you are using 2017 or later, the Style Reference does just what you are asking.
