Above Objects Moves the selected object above the specified reference objects.
Under Objects Moves the selected objects below the specified reference objects.
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.
When you change the draw order (display and plotting order) of multiple
objects, the relative draw order of the selected objects is maintained.
By default, when you create new objects from existing ones (for example,
FILLET or PEDIT), the new objects are assigned the draw order of the original
object you selected first. By default, while you edit an object (for example,
MOVE or STRETCH), the object is displayed on top of all objects in the drawing.
When you are finished editing, your drawing is partially regenerated so that
the object is displayed according to its correct draw order. This can result in
some edit operations taking slightly longer. You can use
DRAWORDERCTL
(page 1311) to change the default draw order settings.
