Every time I create a new layer, name it, asign a color, linetype, etc...it defaults back to the original color, making me set it twice.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?  First of many questions to come....

And since you are new here:

It's a good idea to always include the C3D version and which service pack(s) are installed.
