Draw order quandry

[AZsurveyor]

I'm using 2008 Civil 3d LDD and I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to lock the draw order for objects or layers. Here are some typical problems:
I edit a hatch property and now the hatch is in front of the rest of my linework.
I edit a leader and then it is front of the text that had previously obscured it.

It's not a huge problem, but it gets tedious having to constantly move things back to their proper place.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

change DRAWORDERCTL to 1

Here's the whole story:

DRAWORDERCTL
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 3

Controls the display order of overlapping objects. Use this setting to improve the speed of editing operations in large drawings. The commands that are affected by inheritance are BREAK, FILLET, HATCH, HATCHEDIT, EXPLODE, TRIM, JOIN, PEDIT, and OFFSET.
0 Turns off the default draw order of overlapping objects: after objects are edited, regardless of their draw order, the objects are displayed on top until a drawing is regenerated (REGEN) or reopened. This setting also turns off draw order inheritance: new objects that are created from another object using the commands listed above are not assigned the draw order of the original object.

1 Turns on the default draw order of objects: after objects are edited, they are automatically displayed according to the correct draw order.

2 Turns on draw order inheritance: new objects created from another object using the commands listed above are assigned the draw order of the original object.

3 Provides full draw order display. Turns on the correct draw order of objects, and turns on draw order inheritance.

NoteFull draw order display may slow some editing operations.

/Petri This may be the answer -- sure sounds like it. I'm so oldschool that I use Z-values if possible...
