JD Mather Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Do you mean draworder (dr) or the alpha-numeric listing of layer names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 DRAWORDER Changes the draw order of images and other objects. Consult your Help files for further information. Some of the options include: Above Objects Moves the selected object above the specified reference objects. Select reference objects: Use an object selection method Under Objects Moves the selected objects below the specified reference objects. Select reference objects: Use an object selection method Front Moves the selected objects to the top of the order of objects in the drawing. Back Moves the selected objects to the bottom of the order of objects in the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Since you are using 2007 there should be any number of toolbars already available to you. Follow the advice given above. You really don't need this in written form. Once you do it you'll always remember how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 can anybody write me step by step how to do it? where is this draworder toolbar please? You might want to consider buying a book so you can learn all the basics. Check Amazon.com for books by George Omura, and get the one that's relevant to your version of AutoCAD.

spikes2020 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Man, i could read all day and learn half as much as just by doing and toying with it. Maybe its just me but I'm a visual person, i need to see it done or do it my self.... I have had this problem before it was a big pain. But sometimes i have it were if i make coppies or redraw stuff or just move items, the order gets mixed up again. If the book had lots of pictures maybe , or you tube videos.

Cad64 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yes, the book has lots of pictures. And yes, you can learn a lot by trial and error and just playing with the program, but you can only get so far by doing that. At some point you have to either take classes, read a book or locate some video training DVD's if you really want to learn this, or any, program inside and out. I'm self taught in many different programs, and I can tell you that I would have never made it to this point without the aid of training materials. I have a whole library of books and DVD's for the programs I use. But I agree with you about being a visual person. I would much rather watch a DVD than read a book. There's nothing like watching someone actually doing what they're describing. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 the matter is that im not using autocad in english, so i need different command. You can still use English commands on your version. Just precede the command with an underscore like this: _DRAWORDER or _DR. Otherwise, you will have to find the command on your own. The majority of us have Autocad set up in English so we may not be able to direct you to the equivalent in your language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
