You can always create the dwg format attributes yourself. just have a look at the documentation of the DWGStyler to know which autodesk attributes to set in your workspace.
Mind you it can get messy if your are writing to multiple layers.
Have you tried creating a simple template with no features in it but only styling onformation?

You could write a small lisp routine and save it in your "My_Personal_support"
Add the path to AutoCAD paths.
This way you can have it auto load/run when you open a ACAD file.
It is also possible to have the configuration file with a variable called WD_OPEN_DWG run the command to zoom '(command "_.ZOOM" "_E")' in the 2016 variant. (I have not checked whether it is still the same, I assume so though)
