    Default Can't Find "Drawing Order" Anymore

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    We upgraded to AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 (from AutoCAD Mechanical 2009).

    I used to go: TOOLS > DRAWING ORDER, in order to bring an object to the back or the front of another object.

    Now that we are using AM 2012, I can't find where this command is located.

    Any ideas?

    Assuming you are using the Ribbon. Home tab, Modify panel, pick down arrow next to Modify, lower right icon.

    You can have your menubar show, MENUBAR, 1 from the command line, then Tools, Draworder.

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    I don't use Mechanical, but if you select the object(s) you want to affect and then right click, Draw Order should be in the pop up menu. Or just type DRAWORDER at the command line.
