Default Line Settings Changing

I was at work today doing some very tedious line work (2D). I wanted all the line work to be on the same layer, however, the default setting I set for the layer of the line would not stick. Sometimes two or three times it was okay. After that it defaulted to a layer I did not ask for, What's the problem?

I cured this problem by moving from AC17 to AC18. Touch wood it did not re-occur in 18, I am just switching to 19 & if it happens in that I will go back to 18.

It was so annoying, it would be worth an upgrade fee just to get rid of it.

Hi all, We’ve contacted Rogerdodge and Rippledesign, but unfortunately we couldn’t get sufficient information to reproduce the issue.

I had a short gotomeeting screen sharing with Akos Karocczkai a technical support engineer this morning and have sent him some information to look into it a little further. It does appear to be an issue stemming from keeping settings from previous archicad versions. When I opened a new AC 17 file and used all the default settings and template the issue wasn't present. From now on I intend to have all shortcuts, templates, etc. that we use in our office built from scratch to make sure we don't have a leftover glitch. In any case, no issues in 18 or 19 for now.
