clicker Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have inserted a jpeg image, and I need it to be underneath my linework. For some reason the "tools-draw order-send to back" is not working. The only way I can get the linework to appear on top of the image is by selecting all the linework and then using "tools>draw order> bring to front" And then if I move the image , it brings it up on top of the linework and I have to redo the process. This is so annoying! has anyone else run into it and know of a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have no problem doing what you describe/it works correctly. Post up part of the file that is causing you problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Try using "display order" instead of "draw order". A regen should correct the display when the image appears to be on top of your linework after a move. Still annoying to have to do but quicker than what you've been doing.

SLW210 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 What are the specs on your computer? I have this problem with keeping line work on top of the Image, also and I am pretty certain it has to do with my crappy Graphics Card, one day IT will come swap mine out. I just keep sending it to the back and a regenall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designerstuart Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i know it's not the best answer but you can use a button to "send to back". i use shortcut commands BB and FF for draw order front and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viviancarvalho Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just be sure that your "imageframe" is set to 1 & then try using "Draw order" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I have to do a regen after sending to back, then the linework comes to the front. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001jonathon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 you can try draw order the lines to the front. that has worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 where is the "display order" command"? It looks like "draw order" has taken its place. "Draw order" used to do something different in older versions. Have you tried doing just the regen when the image gets on top of your linework?

Have you tried doing just the regen when the image gets on top of your linework? Sometimes just a regen will work, but usually you need to reset draworder. I am pretty sure it is graphics card related, hopefully I will find out one day when they get mine replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRD6462 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I was having the same problem and after trying a million different things, I finally created blocks with the images behind the things in front of them... That block still wanted to jump to the front, but I had the other things I needed in front of it in the same block... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I had original image, Wipeout, new line work, it was a case of doing draw order in correct sequence. Think of it as stacking on top of each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Haven't had any issues with "draw order" in a long time but the first few years it was included the order didn't stick when the drawing was reopened so I used this: ;Because draworder often requires a regen. (defun C:Recreate (/ ss) (setq ss (ssget "I")) (if (= ss nil) (progn (prompt "Select Objects to Recreate on Top.") (setq ss (ssget)) ) ) (command "._UNDO" "_BEgin") (command "copy" ss "" "_non" "0,0" "") (command "erase" ss "") (princ) ) The newly copied (Recreated) objects were on top and the originals on the bottom were deleted. Been quite a few years since I've needed it though, "draw order" works well now. For often used Draworders I have added a few macro's to the Draw Order drop-down for sending images to back, viewports to front, and viewports to back: ^C^C^P(sssetfirst nil (ssget "X" '((0 . "IMAGE"))));_ai_draworder _Back ^P ^C^C^P(sssetfirst nil (ssget "X" '((0 . "VIEWPORT"))));_ai_draworder _Front ^P ^C^C^P(sssetfirst nil (ssget "X" '((0 . "VIEWPORT"))));_ai_draworder _Back ^P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
