Control the Display Order of Overlapping
Objects
Generally, overlapping objects such as text, wide polylines, and solid-filled
polygons are displayed in the order they are created: newly created objects in
front of existing objects. Any changes you make to object sorting settings
may also affect the default display order of overlapping objects. However,
you can change the order in which objects are displayed and printed.
Note Overlapping objects cannot be controlled between model space and
paper space. They can only be controlled within the same space.
To change the display order of overlapping objects
1 From the Tools menu, choose Display Order.
2 Choose one of the options.
3 Select the object you want to modify and press
ENTER.
