layiso doesn't make the isolated layer current
Why wouldn't the layiso command make the isolated layer current? Why would I isolate a layer and want to add objects to any other layer?

It does in newer versions [Acad2016 here]. But if it doesn't for you, try LayerIsolateOnOff.lsp, with its LIO and LUO commands, available here. It sets a Layer among the selected ones current, and has several other improvements over LAYISO/LAYUNISO [see comments on that page and in the file]. And the command names are much shorter! There's also another one that uses Freezing/Thawing instead of Off/On, if you have a use for that.

I guess I was just hoping that AutoCAD would have an option within the laywalk command to help streamline workflow. I like the layiso command much better. It works quickly, and it's easy to restore all layers to their previous state. I know you could use the layerp command after using laywalk, but layerp is not always reliable. Furthermore, I just can't think of any reason that anybody would isolate any layer, and then want to keep a totally different layer which happens to be frozen, vpfrozen or locked current. What's the point? I think that it would be helpful for all users if the layiso command made the isolated layer current. That's why I was hoping there was a setting to change the commands behavior.
