DRAWORDER command
Changes the display order of overlapping entities.
Icon: 
Alias: DR
Description
This command is used to display entities over the top of other entities that would otherwise overlap or hide them. This command is meant to work with overlapping objects. While this command works with non-overlapping entities, it has no effect on them.
Note: Hatches and text entities in BricsCAD already have handy
commands controlling their display order: HatchToBack places all hatching below
all other entities, and TextToFront displays all text above all entities.
Method
This command offers 5 methods to change the draw order of overlapping entities:
- Above
- Under
