    Default Draw Order

    Is there a way to set the draw order of items in your model? I currenlty have annotation symbols being hidden by the linked arch model. Can this be fixed or not? Thanks.

    I have heard of this, but I have never had this problem.
    Is it the linked annotations that are masking your work or any and everything in the link.
    I have seen masking regions all over Arch files before and if their annotations are opaque that would do it.
    There are draw order options, but I have never had them work.
    can you attach an image?

    The only way I know to fix this is using pdf writer that has the line merge option. We use blueBeam. The only problem with line merge is it no longer allows the text background to be opaque. If you put a tag directly on a pipe it will not mask the pipe out. It does allow the MEP work to show on top of the arch annotations though. Choose the lesser of 2 evils. HTH
