Hello,
My current layer is constantly changing without my telling it to. Usually it changes to the last object I selected or changed. How do I stop this from happening. I just want to stay on one layer unless I specifically change it?

This is a weird behavior that AutoCAD will not do it without an outsource interfere lisps or plugins. SO if you have lately install one then you have to check it out . 😉

How do you verify that?
My feeling is that you selected an object and then look to the layer-combo or to the property window ... because when an object is selected you will get the object's layer presented.
But when you press <ESC> (at least twice) to make sure no object is selected ... what does the layer-combo or property window show now?

I'm aware the property box will show what I currently have selected. I talking about I'll be deleting and move blocks around, and suddenly find the current layer changed to something I touched a dozen commands ago.
For example: I selected the lines on the "stair" layer moved them all to "base_building" then continued working, deleting, moving. But some how "stair" was made current when it had previously been layer 0. I need to stay on layer 0 because of the block system we are using.

I can't think about a way to make that happen automatically (as long as their is no 3rd party app installed and working).
To isolate the issue/to find the exact time when that happens you might use SYSVARMONITOR (>>>details<<<) ... add system variable CLAYER to the list of watched variables. This will show you a popup when the current layer was changed to a different one and so give you a feedback when exactly that happens.

Not typical of AutoCAD.. do you have any add-ins running that may be causing this behavior?
