Currently when i draw a line, it is placed on the CAD, default layer. I want to draw a line on the layer i am working on.

Change your Current CAD Layer.

There are several ways to change your current cad layer.  I recommend using "edit active view" and then going to the "selected defaults" and changing it there. 

 

Once you understand active defaults, you will better understand how they control a lot more then just your current layer.  You can then use them to control other things like your text and dimensions. 

 

Once you understand all of your active defaults, you can then start setting up "default sets" and "saved plan views" so you don't have to keep changing them one at a time.  All of these things are covered in more detail in the training videos.
