AutoCAD 2010 :: Draw Order Using Layers

May 30, 2012

Is there are tool somewhere where you can make the draw order layer specific. I.e so we have a layer with a certain number of items on it that always appear above another layer with other types of items.

We tend to use leaders a fair bit and they often drop below some of our design elements, ideally we want them to be at the front & have to spend time bringing to front / sending to back etc.

AutoCad 2D :: Hatching And Draw Order

Jul 17, 2012

So I'm having an issue with draw order... I have a base with a solid screened hatch that is xrefed into a sheet file in model space. I have text, reference bubbles, dimensions, etc in paper space. When I print, the information in paper space that is above the hatch isn't showing up. Usually the information in paper space would show up when I print without having to deal with draw order...

AutoCAD 2013 :: Draw Order Not Working

Oct 15, 2012

I have been unable to make Draw Order work well.  The attached file  and other ones I created would not work.  The goal is to have the boarder and text (color 7) always stay on top after it is created as a block and pasted to any drawing.  After pasting it, the text go underneath the shade (color 155).  I have used Draw Order, picked the objects in the order I would like, repeated the same steps inside the Block Editor and Edit Block In-Place, still, the block would not work.  I never had this issue before - seem to have stared today.  Don't know what else to do.  The only thing that works is keep recreating the block till one works, which seldom works.

AutoCad :: Automatic Draw Order For Dimensions?

Sep 5, 2011

I like my Dimenion Extension Lines to be hidden if over another object, so I use the Draw Order button "Send to Back", but it gets a bit tedious to do it every time.

I searched this forum and found a thread that explains how to create a keyboard command to do it, which is useful, but I'm wondering can I set a property of Dimensions (or any other object for that matter) so that when it is created its Draw Order is automatically set to the Back (or the front, if I wish)?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Draw Order With Display Maps

Sep 11, 2013

We have a project where we have a combination of CAD data and shape files (connected) with various labels in both formats.

They are in the proper order for both 'Groups' and 'Draw Order' in the 'Display Manager'.

We have two separate viewports, created and named using 'Display Maps' with the applicable layers turned to visible as each viewport requires (some common shapefiles need to be display, some different, some different CAD data also). When we do a regen within one viewport the other non-active viewport immediately loses its draw order (CAD objects appear above the shapefile data). If we switch viewports and Regen then the first viewport will lose its draworder.

Could this be a case for Autodesk Subscription and the developer's to resolve?

AutoCad 2D :: Automatic Draw Order Settings?

Jan 29, 2014

Is there any way to have more control over the Draw Order? "Move to the Back," "Bring Annotation to Front" etc. is so clumsy and not precise.

PhotoShop has a whole Layers palette where you can drag certain layers above others. Right now I'm tearing my hair out because my Electricity layer keeps getting hidden behind the Furniture Layer which must also contend with the Flooring Layer... Isn't there a setting to do this permanently?

To permanently set up which layers will automatically be above or below other ones?

I'd want something like this...

TOP
- Text layers
- Dim Layers
- Electrical symbols
- Electrical appliances
- Furniture
- Wall Cladding
- Flooring
BOTTOM

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Draw Order In Parcel Style

Jul 3, 2012

What I want to do is to have an area label where the text background mask obscures linework but does not obscure the parcel fill (hatch). I think it looks bad when you have a light hatch where the background mask cuts a big hole in it.

Usually I would use draw order to do something like this. But since the fill and text are part of one object that won't work. I looked to see if there was any way to affect the order in the Parcel Style but didn't see any.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile View Draw Order

Apr 22, 2013

I've got a Profile View style set up just the way I want it.  The only problem that I have is that the automated fill hatch that I'm using between my existing and finish profiles is showing up behind the grid lines.  Unfortunately, we use "lines overwrite" as a standard, so I can't just switch to "lines merge". Any way or a setting that would allow me to move the draw order of the fill hatch above the grid lines?

AutoCad :: Draw Order Not Working Correctly With 2007?

Dec 13, 2012

I've used cad now in a basic 2d architectural sense now for 10 years, through various versions.

I have recently dropped back to a 2007 from 2008 (changed jobs) and for some reason the draw order is all messed up i noticed this first through hatching but its on everything including inserted images.

I've tried a few of the solutions on other threads even uninstalling cad and re-installing it and nothing seems to be sorting it. Functions like 'send to back' etc just don't work and the draw orders are all to pot.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Draw Order Toolbar Doesn't Work?

Jun 25, 2009

The draw order toolbar icon is displayed on screen. When I try to change the draw order, I hit the toolbar and get an AI_Draworder unknown command. I even moved the toolbar in a different part of the screen. The only why I can now change the draw order on an entity is the type in the word draworder in the command line. Is there any way to reactiviate the draw order toolbar?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Draw Order Won't Stay When Close And Reopen The Drawing?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dynamic Block / Draw Order And TextoFront Won't Work Together

Dec 5, 2013

the layer order will not function as soon as the block is made dynamic.  I have been creating my blocks the harder way and still have more to do, so what to do.

The last time I asked the Autodesk technician, I was told it is a program (Autodesk) issue which I call a bug.  I have tried the draw order and the Textofront still, no better result.

AutoCad :: Redefining Block Causing Xref Draw Order To Change

Sep 27, 2011

I have come across a situation whereby when a user redefines a block in a drawing it is changing the draw order of the xrefs.The block in question is the Plan frame, and is located in paperspace. The user redefines the block and the xrefs change their draw order in the viewport. A regen does not unfortunately correct the issue.Drawings were created with Civil 3D 2010. The plan frame block is a dynamic block.

AutoCad :: Control Draw Order Of Objects Created Within Array In Dynamic Block?

Jul 11, 2012

how to control the draw order of objects created within an array in a dynamic block?

I have a wipeout, which works fine on the array source, but when the array produces babies, it places them infront of everything (which is only logical), making the wipeout useless.

Can I set array babies to have the same draw order as their parent?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Set Display Order Of Layers

Aug 19, 2013

I can't find where to set the display order of layers. I have lines that display under a PDF underlay but I can't drag the layer above the others. They appear to be in alphabetical order, which, while frustrating, I can live with if AC will allow me to easily move layers around some other way.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Order A Drawing To Organise Certain Layers

I am currently trying to order a drawing to organise certain layers on top of the other, everyone within our team is having the same problem and are find the draw order command and the right click action very inconsistant - i was wondering if there was a better way to organise and control which layer sits infront of others for publishing, we have a number of view port templates that also dont have the same draw order as the model space.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Open Drawing Order

Jan 22, 2013

Here is what's happening:

When I open more than one drawing the second drawing that I open does not show (but is opened) I see the first drawing that was already open. If I open a third drawing, the same thing happens the first drawing shows ( but the second and third are both open).

Is this something to do with changing the Quick View Drawings Order?

Photoshop :: Layers Stacking Order

May 26, 2008

applyng a layer and flattening. Now i really want to get over this hurdle so that i can save important images unflattened for further re-adjustment later.

I have browsed the web for two days and found nothing that helps me. The crux of the issue is that i get to a point where i have applied maybe three adjustment layers and then aaply say a sharpening layer only to find i cannot see its effect on the image due to its order in the stack.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Display Order Of Hatch On Sheet

Sep 9, 2012

I have a solid hatch pattern I want to use on a sheet that would display under a Model Space View (MSV).

(Ideally, I would like the hatch to come from an xref set up in the .dwt for the sheet, but I won't push my luck.)

Unfortunately the solid hatch always remains above the MSV.  Refer to image attached.  I have tried the following :

- 'Draw Order' - 'Send to Back' of the hatch (including it's bounding box)
- "hatchtoback"
- "hpdraworder" = 1
- "sortents" = 0

AutoCAD 2010 :: Image Display Order In Different Views

Oct 25, 2012

I have 2 images that I need to see on 2 diferent views. On one view I need to see image A over image B. On the other view I need to see image B over image A. When I do the display order, it reflects on both views, so I have the same order on both views.

How can I avoid this, so that I can see different display orders depending on the view?

I am usinf AutoCAD 2010.
