Hi Michael,
At the top right corner of the Favorites palette, there is a right-pointing triangle. Mouse down on that to get a menu that lets you open the Favorites Preferences. There, you can alter what parameters are transfered to the tool settings.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you can see that if Parameter Exclusion is grouped by Parameter, you can see which favorites allow for an ID to be included as part of the favorite. Section/Elev markers are not one of them.
If you reset an ID via a Fav, then the preference setting for auto-increment will take over if you place more than one element before choosing the fav again.
HTH,
Karl
