Stacking Objects

Objects have an inherent stacking order. Newer objects stack in front of older objects if they overlap. Stacking order can be modified by commands in the Arrange menu.

  • Arrange > Move To Front moves the selected objects to the top of the stack so that they appear in front of any other objects.

  • Arrange > Move To Back moves the selected objects to the bottom of the stack so that they appear behind any other objects.
