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

[tylerKRT77]

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.
