I wonder if you'd be happy compartmentalizing your .LIN file by simply separating your chunks of line definitions visually.

Example:

Code: [Select]

;;
;;  AUTOCAD DEFAULT LINETYPES
;;
*BORDER,Border __ __ . __ __ . __ __ . __ __ . __ __ .
A,.5,-.25,.5,-.25,0,-.25

*CENTER,Center ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____
A,1.25,-.25,.25,-.25

*DIVIDE,Divide ____ . . ____ . . ____ . . ____ . . ____
A,.5,-.25,0,-.25,0,-.25

;;  Complex linetypes
;;
;;  Complex linetypes have been added to this file.
;;  These linetypes were defined in LTYPESHP.LIN in
;;  Release 13, and are incorporated in ACAD.LIN in
;;  Release 14.
;;  
;;  These linetype definitions use LTYPESHP.SHX.
;;
*FENCELINE1,Fenceline circle ----0-----0----0-----0----0-----0--
A,.25,-.1,[BOX,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1
*BATTING,Batting SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
A,.0001,-.1,[BAT,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.2,[BAT,ltypeshp.shx,r=180,x=.1,s=.1],-.1
*ZIGZAG,Zig zag /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
A,.0001,-.2,[ZIG,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.2,s=.2],-.4,[ZIG,ltypeshp.shx,r=180,x=.2,s=.2],-.2

;;  Company Defined Linetypes
;;
;;  The following linetypes are company custom definitions, consult KrusherT before messing with it under pain of tar-and-feathering.
;;


*KRUSHTYPE,Krusher's LINE -----KRUSHERT--------KRUSHERT------
A,.5,-.2,["KRUSHERT",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25


Having different sections for each 'category' of linetypes, in that case, ACAD default lines, Complex lines, and company custom lines.

If that's not cool, I understand.  Just food for thought, in case you haven't already tried it.  I'm OCD about organization as well, most of the time.

I do that Already.  Makes it easier to cut and paste.    
I like the tar and feathering comment.  I will have to use that.
