   Before uninstalling / reinstalling I would first recommend trying the REPAIR option.  Did not work in my case and judging from what others have written about the uninstall/reinstall process I'm not interested in going down that road unless I absolutely have to.

Maybe it's a graphics card issue?

	Greetings, I would have responded to this sooner but I was working through some Log in issues. I have been running AutoCAD 2012 since the update from 2011. I haven’t found any issues as you describe nor have any of my users. I made the new layer in the model area as well as in the layout through the viewport. Changed the color and also made it current. Everything I did to the layer in the model, showed up as a change in the layout – viewport side that included: Status, Color and also linetype. It was all automatic so I didn’t need to change anything on the VP side. You said you had some work-arounds one of which I’m sure included changing the VP colors, ltypes etc. in the viewport itself. I use a lot of viewports in my layouts that have various colors and linetypes assigned. Sure makes my life easier. I guess I am one of the lucky ones not to have this problem Perhaps re-installing the software would help. I cringe when other people suggest this knowing the changes I have made. Good luck! I will keep an eye on this thread. Mike

	I am also experiencing this issue. I have a thread going in the AutoDesk discussion form also, but no luck. Very frustrating little bug.

	I have experienced the same problem and at first thought it might be graphics card related. Now, after reading your post, I am beginning to have my doubts. Maybe it is a true AutoCAD 2012 bug.

	Hi guys.. I have recently upgraded to AutoCAD 2012 & have noticed a couple of little bugs in it.. Most of which i have found work-arounds, but there is one in particular that has been annoying me.. When I create a new layer in the layer manager & I give it a line weight & a pen colour, the colour does not seem to stay with that layer until I save the drawing... ie.. I create a new layer, say it comes up with the colour set to white, I select & change the colour to red for instance, & set that layer to the current layer.. Now, when I go out of the layer manager & draw a line on the page it will be created on the correct layer, but it will still show as white. If i click on it the oproperties show that the colour is set to by layer, but the layer shows it as white. If i go back into the layer manager, that layer will show that its colour is set to red... I have found that if I save the drawing & go back into the layer manager, the colour for that layer will have changed back to white. I am then able to change the colour to what ever I want & it will work.. Has anyone found a solution to this issue, as I do not want to have to save after I create every layer before I then go back & allocate the colours to all the new layers... Any help would be appreciated.. Cheers...
