Cant get my drawing order to work

Hi,

I have a floor plan drawing and I'm trying to add zone colour for each different department.

I have added a new layer, (layer 1) and with that layer I have traced around the different zones and hatched them with colour no problem.

Now all I want to do is sent layer 1 to the back and all the other layers to stay above so the detail is above the colour.

I have tried drawing order as that was where my auto cad bible says but it doesn't change the order.

Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong in simple terms please.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried doing a Regen after the Draworder?

It seems like ive been seeing alot of questions for this.

See this thread

ok I tried regen after changing draw order no luck,

I also checked the other post and tried the macro no luck either

To try and do this i am select all the hatched areas and then selecting draw order sent to back is this correct?

dont know if it makes a difference but im trying to do this in paperspace not model space the hatches were also drawn in paperspace?

Will this make a difference

could do, they might be relative to the vport. try doing the same thing in model space then drawing a new viewport

Yes that works now is there any way of moving my layer from paperspace to model space to save me redrawing the whole thing?

select your hatches or whatever you have in paper space and type chspace in the command line and they will move to model space. This is handy when you have rotated viewports youy dont have to worry about rotating things to the right degree when it changes to model space it automatically rotates as it should

try "chspace"

Noticed Iwas beat.

Couldn't think of command.

Worked like a dream thank you very much!
