Wouldn't it be easier to create all the layers you need in your template as well as have all the linetypes and text styles pre-loaded?

There is a reason why I changed your tags to Code-tags so that the code is wrapped and scroll-able so that you don't have to scroll by a mile of lisp-text every time you check the thread. But each to his own I guess. Sorry for interfering.

The code Lee created I am sure was meant to be one size fits all and not specific to one's needs. You will have to figure those changes out for yourself.
