Question
I have created a text file with layers name , color and linetype. How do I import it into AutoCAD2005 for it to become layers each time I create a new drawing ? I am using AutoCAD2005

Answer
You might be able to make a script file out of it, which is a sequence of commands as you would type them at the command line. script files have an extension .scr and would contain something like layer m layername c colornum lt linetype
and so on.
But the normal way to create layers in a new dwg is to create a dwt file, with all the layers and linetypes in it, which is a drawing template file, then base your new drawings on that template.
You can also get them by just inserting a block or drawing that has all the layers in it.
