Sorting the Draw Order of Detail Components

You can sort the draw order of detail components in a view. Draw order options are available when you select detail components in the view.

This functionality is also available in the Family Editor (for detail components in the Detail and Profile families), and for raster images.

To specify element draw order

  1. In the drawing area, select one or more detail components.

    The following tools become available on the Modify <element> tabArrange panel.

    • (Bring to Front). Immediately places the selected detail components in front of all other detail components in the view.
    • (Send to Back). Immediately places the selected detail components behind all other detail components in the view.
    • (Bring Forward). Moves the selected detail components one step closer to the front of all other detail components.
    • (Send Backward). Moves the selected detail components one step closer to the back of all other detail components.
  2. Click the desired option to move the components.
