The order in which drawing objects in the Map module are displayed becomes important whenever a rectangle or oval is displayed in the color fill mode. The order of drawing objects can be controlled using the Move to Front, Move to Back, Shuffle Up, and Shuffle Down commands of the Drawing Objects menu.

Move to Front

The Move to Front command causes the selected drawing object to be drawn last. In other words it appears on top or in front of all other drawing objects.

Move to Back

The Move to Back command causes the selected drawing object to be drawn first. In other words it appears at the bottom or in back of all other drawing objects.

Shuffle Up

The Shuffle Up command causes the selected drawing object to be displayed one object later than it is currently displayed. This causes it to appear in front of the object which is currently being displayed just ahead of it.

Shuffle Down

The Shuffle Down command causes the selected drawing object to be displayed one object sooner than it is currently displayed. This causes it to appear behind the object that is currently being displayed just behind it.
