Draw Order Command in AutoCAD
The draw order command in AutoCAD is used to control the layering of objects in a drawing. It allows you to specify which objects appear in front of or behind other objects. This command is useful when you need to arrange objects visually, such as ensuring that a certain object appears in front of others for clarity.
To use the draw order command:
- Type DRAWORDER in the command line.
- Select the object(s) whose draw order you want to change.
- Choose one of the following options:
- Bring to Front: Moves the selected objects to the top layer, making them appear in front of all other objects.
- Send to Back: Moves the selected objects to the bottom layer, placing them behind all other objects.
- Bring Above Objects: Moves the selected objects above others but not necessarily to the front.
- Send Below Objects: Moves the selected objects below others but not necessarily to the back.
- Press Enter to apply the changes.
The draw order command helps to improve the visual hierarchy in your drawings, making them easier to interpret and edit.
