I hate when this happens but I think I found a fudge around even though it'd be great if there was a better way to do it.
I made a duplicate of the linetype in my standards pln file so it added it as a new linetype with a new number. I deleted the original linetype. I renamed the duplicate linetype to the origianl name. And then I picked the linetype again. Then I deleted the linetype from the template file and updated the pln file that was a module. I added in the new linetype from the attribute manager and it worked fine. That was ugly and sloppy, but it worked.
Was this the only way to get it to work?

I used attribute manager but there was already a linetype with the same number and I didn't want to overwrite it and it doesn't find it unless it has the same number.

Two linetypes can't have the same number in one file. Make up your mind which linetype will use the number and append the other.

In one file #7 linetype in called HIDDEN and in another file #7 linetype is called DASHED. I don't want ot overwrite #7.
I did make up my mind. I wanted HIDDEN but it needs to have the same number in both files and I had to fudge around to get it that way.
Hopefully you now understand what happened. Look at the attribute manager, there's numbers there.

Michele, I understand the numbers. I was just encouraging you to make a decision.
See Karl's excellent recent post on the subject.
