Changing Object Stacking Order

As each object is drawn in VectorWorks, it is automatically stacked in the order of creation. The first object created is at the bottom of the stack and the most recent object created is at the top of the stack. The send commands change the stacking order of objects within a layer. Objects can be sent forward or backward one position in the stack, or all the way to the front or back of the stack in one step.

To change the stacking order of objects:

1.	Select the 2D or 3D object to restack.

2.	Select Modify > Send. From the sub-menu, select the send method to use.

Alternatively, select Send from the object context menu.

 

Method	Description
Send Forward	Sends the object one level up in the stacking order
Send Backward	Sends the object one level down in the stacking order
Send to Front	Sends the object to the top of stacking order
Send to Back	Sends the object to the bottom of the stacking order

The object’s stacking order is changed.
