Problem with acad.lin

[BLOACH85]

Hey I have autocad 2009 and my acad.lin will not load my custom line types all other types are loaded its in the original place and the search path is right but still when i load autocad the custom linetypes are not loaded, but if you go to load and then file and pick the file it will load it but you have to do this every time. how do i get it to load automatically?

[Se7en]

your template file ( .DWT ).

Template file? in the search path? or the template itself?

[BLOACH85]

see i want it to load automatically into each drawing that is opened, Other computers up here will do it but there is one that will not.

[Se7en]

I was talking about in the template itself but how are they doing that: with a custom app or using a template file. ...this sounds like a missing tool or missing path kinda thing in that computers settings.

[ReMark]

I think the other computers are using a drawing template file that already has all the necessary linetypes pre-loaded. You need to find the location of that file so you can have access to it too.

that, and make sure you aren't running a purge all in your startup.

Just to clarify... Linetypes in "acad.lin" (or any other .LIN file) are not loaded at startup, regardless if the file is in the support file search path or not.
