yes, l looking a template file based on OP’s standard. l known this forum many previous discussions covering this mater. but I lazy to search one by one...

What this DWT type? I don't this Dwt..

Are you looking for a template file based on OP’s standard? You can create your own very easy – just add in a new, empty, drawing everything you need to have available in each drawing and consistent trough project’s drawings (if you will do a search on Forum will find many previous discussions covering this mater). And don’t forget to save it as DWT type.

DWT = Drawing Template file type for AutoCAD.
Is just a predefined drawing stored in a dedicated location (local or network) to provide drafting environment and ensure consistency between company’s and/or project’s drawing. His special feature is that can be pointed at by NEW command and also SAVE will interrogate for name.

After you set your template, just chouse DWT file type when save it – you will be pointed to template files folder; whn start a new drawing chouse your template instead of shipped ones. May also set this as default template in Options to don’t be interrogated every time.

How dwt use in the existing drawing?
more dwg coming to another company...

If you are always working on drawings already started by other company, then the discussion on template mater is unnecessary.
You may look instead for an AutoLISP routine to match the drawings with your company standard – I saw such tools in the past on Forum (search, again). But this may apply only if preserving the other’s standard isn’t mandatory.
