Automatic Draw Order for Dimensions?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I like my Dimenion Extension Lines to be hidden if over another object, so I use the Draw Order button "Send to Back", but it gets a bit tedious to do it every time.

 

I searched this forum and found a thread that explains how to create a keyboard command to do it, which is useful, but I'm wondering can I set a property of Dimensions (or any other object for that matter) so that when it is created its Draw Order is automatically set to the Back (or the front, if I wish)?

Not without some lisp/dotnet/arx it can't. It would probably use a reactor to test if some new object has been drawn, then if that object is of a pre-set type send it to back. I've seen some code like this to place specific object types on specific layers, this would be a perfect starting point for such lisp. Then you might want to check out Lee Mac's code regarding object order through ActiveX - since it's not a good idea to send commands from within a reactor.
