AutoCAD 2007 and AutoCAD 2007 based products coming

Well its no secret that AutoCAD is on an anual release cycle and with that in mind, AutoCAD 2007 is just around the corner. Today markes the first day that beta sites can only talk about the up and coming AutoCAD 2007 product. No don't ask what takes place during the beta program as we are not allowed to talk about that.  If you want to know what happens during a beta program, feel free to sign up at the My Feedback portal that Autodesk hosts.

I have been busy working on projects related to AutoCAD 2007 for many months now and have not had a lot of time to gather some nice documents to display on the website or my blog, but a good friend and great author Ellen Finkelstein took a break from writing an update to the AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT Bible to put some stuff together though.  You can read about some of the many new and exciting features on Ellen's website at http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/autoCAD.html.

Yes, I have time for one quick question.

Question in the back row: Will you be updating the guides that you maintain for AutoCAD 2007?

Yes, I will start posting some stuff over the next few days on What's New in the new release, and will work on getting some of my guides updated that I publish with each new release. That's all the time I have for questions as I need to get some of my projects out the door.

Sincerely,
  Lee

In using AutoCAD 2007 I have a problem I cannot solve. It started a week ago. I learned ACAD 2.52 DOS about 24 years ago, and am now upgrading myself. I use it for person things, being long retired.
Regardless of the Layer I am in, when I draw something it appears in the color of the last layer I used. I cannot find anything in HELP to even give me a clue. I draw, then have to go into Properties OR Change Cmd and change it to the correct color. My Colors, Linetypes, etc. are set by Layers. What has happened, what is this old guy missing please?
