We can specify * in the layer name modifier. For example, when creating a new alignment, if in the Object Layer dialog, I specify a suffix of -ALIGNMENT-* , the created alignment will be put on the layer of C-ROAD-ALIGNMENT-Alignment - (1) where Alignment - (1) is the new alignment name.
Since this is a new layer, we need to copy the properties from the C-ROAD layer, which is usually specified in Drawing Settings > Object Layers dialog. So here for the API, pass C-ROAD-ALIGNMENT-* as strLayer, and C-ROAD as strBaseLayer , you should be able to get the same result as in the creation dialog.

If you don't want to create every object on a different layer, then you can pass C-ROAD as strLayer and an empty strBaseLayer.
