If you select "TC3" on the Tool Configuration window (by selecting "Tool >> Tool Config >> Vertical Line Config") then this is not setting the Tool Configuration to use, this is loading Tool Configuration 3 for you to modify and then save as you wish (either to Tool Configuration 3 or to another configuration number).

To select the actual tool configuration that is being used when you draw with the tool, you need to select the tool you want from the Tools menu (i.e. Tools >> Vertical Line) and then select the configuration you want to use in "Tools >> Current Tool Config >> Tool Config n".

Or, you can setup a Control Bar button that will select the tool you want to use and a specific Tool Configuration. Refer to the following:
