Custoimised Menu: Set layer, color, linetype

I have started to dabble in the area of Autocad Customisation, (held off for too long)

I am wanting to create a cutomised menu for our company that has sub menus that sets a "defined Layer name", "Color", "linetype" and invokes a line command.

I have managed to get the menu to create layer name, color and envoke line command but seems to fall over when creating linetype.

the macro that works is

^C^C_-layer;make;A-WALL;color;red;;;line;

can anyone advise what additional info is missing to create linetype (for example hidden)

any assistance would be much appreciated.

There is a difference between loading/setting a linetype and creating a line type. So, which is it?

Why not just create the entities in a drawing, and drag them onto a Tool Palette ?

It's so much simpler tinkering with macros, and menu's, etc.
