Sbeth85 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is there any way to have more control over the Draw Order? "Move to the Back," "Bring Annotation to Front" etc. is so clumsy and not precise. PhotoShop has a whole Layers palette where you can drag certain layers above others. Right now I'm tearing my hair out because my Electricity layer keeps getting hidden behind the Furniture Layer which must also contend with the Flooring Layer... Isn't there a setting to do this permanently??? To permanently set up which layers will automatically be above or below other ones? I'd want something like this... TOP - Text layers - Dim Layers - Electrical symbols - Electrical appliances - Furniture - Wall Cladding - Flooring BOTTOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I've only ever had to play with Display Order on rare occasions for hatches and wipeouts. I know in CNC it can have an affect on the programs that run the machinery. What is the purpose for controlling this in Architecture/MEP? Are you printing in color?
