Example:
Command: _Laymcur
Select object whose layer will become current:
S-ANNO-DIMS is now the current layer.
Although Autocad indicates that it has worked, in fact the current layer has NOT changed.
Any ideas?

Ok, what makes you believe that the current layer did not change? I've noticed that the UI elements may not always catch up when you use a different method to change a current property.
If you draw a line immediately after using that command, what layer is the line drawn on?
Thanks for the suggestion, I did try everything I could think of before posting...
text, dims, lines, circles, swearing, etc.,
there's other ways to change the layer, it just bugs me that it won't work.
Hmm, swearing normally works... next I try threatening to throw it out of the window.
In all seriousness, what release are you using and what operating system any software add-ons or lisp routines loaded?
Just hoping to narrow down anyone who could duplicate the experience.
I haven't seen that in any of the releases I can recall, and I use that tool frequently, sorry I don't have any insight...

Is LAYMCUR part of the Express Tools? If it is, there's a possibility that the lisp code is broken/corrupted or Express Tools were not properly installed.
Try AI_MOLC command instead. This is the one that I'm using.
you could try this:
Code:(defun c:lc (/ ss sslayer) (setq ss (ssget ":S")) (if (/= ss nil) (progn (setq sslayer (cdr (assoc 8 (entget (ssname ss 0)))) ) ;_ end of setq (command "layer" "set" sslayer "") ) ;_ end of progn ) ;_ end of if ) ;_ end of defun

Hi, using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010, with Win XP SP3,
AI_MOLC has the same effect
we do have over a dozen .lsp routines loaded
I believe there is a service update 3.1 available from AutoDesk
but were installing 2012 in the next month or so...
I will use that lisp routine from ccowgill
Thanks for all the responses
I tried the commands in XP SP2 using 2010 civil 3d without an issue. I tried to break the command by messing with a few associated system variables, but to no avail.
Is this only happening within one file, or is it happening to all your files?
