Copy Linetype from Another Database

[Anonymous]

Here is my situation:
I have 1 drawing open, I have another drawings Database open
I have found the LinetypeTableRecord (in the Database) of the line type I want to copy to the open drawing.

The Question:
How do I copy a LinetypeTableRecord from one drawing to another?
any examples would be helpfull.

Ok, here's the track I am on now. Im not sure its the right track mind you!

I think I have to use DeepClone, so here is what I tried:

Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabse;

ObjectIdCollection vObjs = newObjectIdCollection();
vObjs(0) = Object Id of linetype I want to copy

db.DeepCloneObjects(vObjs,?????,false);

Now IF I am on the right track what goes where the ????? are?
The help says ObjectId is required there but ID of what? The LineTypeTable? (I tried that and it didn't work).

db.WblockCloneObjects(...)

I am using Database.WblockCloneObjects() to copy linetypes from external drawing. It works fine if linetype doesn't have a reference to complied shape file (.shx). If it does, linetypes are copied without shape-referenced part (e.g. geometries like rounds).

Is there any solution?

Is there a reason why you can't just use LoadLinetype()?

Yes, I am using drawing templates to load all the stuff for my current drawing.
Actually, now I have switched to loading line types from file, but it'd be good for me to load from *.dwt.

Just use Database.Insert("dwtFile.dwt",,,)

Are you shure about this?

There are three overloads and only two of them accept string parameters, which are blockName from another database, as I understand:

public void Insert(Matrix3d transform, Database dataBase, bool preserveSourceDatabase);
public ObjectId Insert(string blockName, Database dataBase, bool preserveSourceDatabase);
public ObjectId Insert(string sourceBlockName, string destinationBlockName, Database dataBase, bool preserveSourceDatabase);
