I feel as though something in my general sketch setup is not quiet right.  I have recently made the change to 2015 if this helps with anything.  I have a drawing file that I am wanting to sketch some lines on and make them a different color I have tried (2) methods to implement this.  I have changed the line color here:

Then sketched a line and then it is red, but as soon as I get out of the sketch command it goes back to black.  My second method was to create another layer with line size and color selected and after I sketched switching the layer of the entities here:

But still no luck it doesn't even change the colors.  Any ideas or help as always is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
