How to setup standard linetypes for a loaded DXF file?

[LavenderGu]

Hello,
I have a problem with linetypes, when I try to add some lines in an existing dxf file. How can I use the created standard linetypes in ezdxf when calling ezdxf.readfile()?

Thank you!
Best Regards!

import ezdxf
from ezdxf.tools.standards import setup_linetypes

doc = ezdxf.readfile(...)

# create standard linetypes:
setup_linetypes(doc)

# create your own linetype:
doc.linetypes.new('YOUR_LINETYPE', dxfattribs={pattern: [...]})

See standard pattern definitions are here:

ezdxf/src/ezdxf/tools/standards.py
