slimjramirez Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 It seems as though my draw order is 'locked'. The command is recognized; but it doesn't seem to work properly. I essentially have two lines, drawn right on top of eachother; I go to get the one underneath and bring to front/send to front, or send the top line to the back, etc. and nothing changes at all. I've found a way to get what I need done completed so I don't need a solution, but is there some variable I'm not aware of that affects the use of draw order?

David Bethel Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Look into SORTENTS I use 119 -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 have you done a purge and regen - just coz AutoCAD is strange like that sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjramirez Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Purging and the SORTENTS didn't help. However using DRAWORDER, then referencing the object I needed to get this one line under worked. The Draw Order toolbar doesn't seem to help but the written command does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 it isn't a PICKFIRST problem is it? what's your PICKFIRST set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjramirez Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 it isn't a PICKFIRST problem is it? what's your PICKFIRST set to? Rah! this is a handy thing to know about, but it didn't help when alternating between 0 and 1. I think this may have just been a freak event; I just finished the drawing, went to open another, "Command "Open" Unknown" "Command "Close" Unkown" "Command F***YouCAD" Unknown" -qsave -quit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 make sure you leave PICKFIRST set to 1 though :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjramirez Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Yup. Turns out it was just a temp. glitch. I closed out, re-opened it, and everything worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadmangod Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Try the variable: treedepth if it is set to 0, it will give you the problem you are describing. set it to 3020. Type: Integer Saved in: Drawing Initial value: 3020 Specifies the maximum depth, that is, the number of times the tree-structured spatial index can divide into branches. 0 Suppresses the spatial index entirely, eliminating the performance improvements it provides in working with large drawings. This setting assures that objects are always processed in database order, making it unnecessary ever to set SORTENTS. >0 Turns on spatial indexing. An integer of up to five digits is valid. The first three digits refer to model space, and the remaining two digits refer to paper space. Note You cannot use TREEDEPTH transparently.

utor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I had this problem today and found this answer and it worked for me. Great job, CADMANGOD. I completly agree, this finally solved my display problem with TEXTTOFRONT not working properly. Now that is selt the TREEDEPTH variable to 32767 (max. value) everything is working fine. Thanks a lot! utor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFeSTeR Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Sometimes when I change the draw order of objects the results don't show until after a regen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCADnoob Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The visual style will also affect draw order. I believe Draw order only works in the traditional 2d visual style (or at least thats what i was told) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The default for TREEDEPTH is 3020, so if you have something else it has been altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
