    Default General Properties on Tool Palette tools not sticky

    I have a dimension tool on a tool palette with properties that put the dimension on the dimension layer and set color ByLayer. Half the time it puts the dimension on the current layer anyway. This happened about 1/3 of the time in AutoCAD 2018. It seems to be happening more often in 2019. Is there anyway to fix this? This happens with other tools as well.

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Well, I've just tried to replicate the behavior in your OP using 2019... and everything is working correctly for me.

    When DIMLAYER == "Use Current" my Tool Palette dimensions come out on the Tool Palette specified layer, and when I change DIMLAYER to an actual layer (not the same as my Tool Palette specified layer), it then overrides it, as it should.

    Cheers
