Guide lines getting on top of my objects

[ArdenHTF]

Sometimes when I am drawing my guide lines (on a layer I've named "Guides"), my guide lines get "in front" of my "object" and I have to select the guides and 'move' them (change the Display Order) to the back.

 

So how do I keep them ALL in the back? I'm thinking that maybe I'm not changing to the 'Guide' layer when I draw them, but they are the correct color, so I'm confused.

AutoCAD doesn't "layer" like drawing programs, they appear where they want to. You can force their order (under format?) but you can't predefine it.

Yeah its not like photoshop where the layer on top has all the objects on top of the lower layers.

Just go to

 

Tools> Display Order, and change it there.

true, but not what was first asked.

Assuming that your object is on a different layer,try turning off the layer guides after you are thru with your guidelines. Then turn it on again. See if it goes at the back of your object.

more coffee is ALWAYS needed. Our machine broke down this morning - we were all pretty twitchy by the time mr. repairman left.
