Moving objects forward and backwards

Complex illustrations have objects stacked on top of each other, such as this target:

The target on the left is made from three circles stacked on top of each other.

To ensure that objects overlay each other in the correct order, you often need to rearrange their order

from front to back. The front object always covers lower objects, and objects always cover other

objects which are further back. Each new object you create is always created on top of older ones.

The arrange menu gives you four options:



Bring to front ("Ctrl + F"): This makes the selected object the front object, and it will hide any

other object it covers.



Move forward ("Ctrl + Shift+ F"): This moves the object up a level towards the front rather like

climbing a staircase one step at a time.



Move backward ("Ctrl + Shift+ B"): This moves the object one level towards the back.



Put to back ("Ctrl + B"): This moves the object to the back.

These options move objects forwards and backwards within their layer. Move to layer in front and

Move to layer behind

lets you move objects between visible layer (invisible layers are skipped when moving objects).
