The layer of the centerline is actually being set to the current layer. If the pipe is exploded, and the centerline is listed, it is actually on what ever the current layer was set to at the time it was exploded. Since almost all my drawings have pipe networks, and I use a lot of VP layer controls for various sheets, I can no longer use the pipe centerline feature at all until it's fixed.
Very frustrating.

I had thought we might work around this temporarily by forcing a specific layer other than 0 in the pipe style. Unfortunately this does not work. No matter what I do, the centerline always takes on the properties of the current layer EXCEPT when the current layer is 0.
Kurt, please be sure to log a support request on this. I will do the same.
Guys -
Please be sure to reference the Defect ID I noted above.

Has anyone tried to temporarily workaround the issue by changing the color in the style to be ByBlock & changing the pipe/stc/xref color?

What do you mean "reference the Defect ID"? Where do we do that? I saw earlier you listed DID 1323671.
Thanks,
This scares me. If it was a known problem and reported during the beta, why wasn't it fixed? How many other problems were not fixed after being reported during the beta?I guess the first release is just beta version 2.

I reported this during Beta, too. I didn't notice at the time that the pipe
was taking on the color of the current layer. This could be a real issue
when the user has frozen a layer in the current viewport then later sets
that layer current....the next regen and the pipes no longer display in the
VP.
I know every one wants this fixed, but I have a workaround that works for us.
Turn of the centerline in the display, turn on the pipe hatch and set it to solid. It's a little slower but at least behaves.
