Layer Manager - Color Settings

[ccampbell]

I have a file where the layer manager does not seam to be contorling the bylayer color settings.  When I change the color in the layer manager everything seams to work fine.  But when I try to creat objects on this layer they we not use the color that I set.  They use the original color that the layer was set to.  In the ribbon the color default is set to by layer.  One interesting thing is that when I pull down the layer menu in the ribbon it will show the old color.  in fact the work around is to change the layer color from this menu and not the layer manager.  This is the only drawing I have that exhibits this behavior.  Does anyone know of a system variable that would cause this or is this just a coruption of this file.  (I ran audit, closed autcad and restarted, verified that all objects are set to manage colors bylayer, default ribbon palets are set to bylayer)

Thank 

Curt

I have the exact same issue. Has there been a solution yet? I haven't reinstalled the program since it appears that it doesn't repair the problem. It's definitely annoying and cumbersome.

Try entering this line of code into the command line, and hit enter:

Code:

(command "._-color" "ByLayer")

._-color

next enter bylayer

Hope this helps!

I was having this same problem too! When I changed layer states the colors that I just changed would go back to normal. I edited them in the Layer States manager and they stayed!!
