Use this procedure to make a specific layer the current layer in the drawing. You must select an individual layer to make current. You cannot make multiple layers or layer groups current.
When you make a layer current, new objects you create are drawn on that layer, unless they have their own layer assignment. For example, if you make A-Wall the current layer, any lines, polylines, and other linework objects without layer assignment will be drawn on that layer until you select another layer to be current.

The selected layer is now the current layer and is marked with a green check in the Layer Properties Manager. The layer name is displayed next to Current Layer: at the top of the Layer Properties Manager.
