View Full Version : Text and dimension draw order?

Say I have a dimension in a drawing, and then I place some text that crosses part of one of the dimension lines. If the text is set to Opaque background, then part of the dimension line is obscured so that the text is readable.

However, if the text is there first, and then I draw the dimension line, it's like the dimension line goes in ON TOP OF the text, and so it makes the text difficult to read because of the line going through it.

So if I have several text notes, and need to place a dimension where the extension lines would pass through the text, is there any way to bring the text "in front" of the dimension, or is my only option to re-make the text notes?

I have had the same issue and I think that i was able to cut the text notes and paste to same location.

I think it fixed it, but i can't remember for sure.

yeah that's what I did, nearly as fast as having a "bring to front" button I guess.
