Push in Draw Order

Quick Reference: Push in Draw Order

  • Hero Image

    Visually re-order the stack of objects.

The draw order is an internal list of objects in your Workspace. By default, all objects are ordered according to when they were created or added to your project — the last object added to your project is the first in the draw order, the second to last added is the second in the draw order, and so on.

The Push options change the order of objects in the draw order. This is primarily useful when working with images and vector graphics. Vector graphics may end up hidden behind Images, making them difficult to manipulate — Push them forward to get them back in view.

Note

Changing the draw order only affects the display order when in Wireframe rendering mode, and not Filled. In Filled rendering mode, the display order will always match the layer order.

Push Tools and Hotkeys

All Push options are available in the Arrange Menu or by hotkey.

Push Option Action Hotkey
Push forward in draw order Moves selected objects up one position in the draw order PgDwn
Push backward in draw order Moves selected objects up one position in the draw order PgUp
Push to front Moves selected objects to the first position in the draw order Ctrl/Cmd + PgUp
Push to back Moves selected objects to the last position in the draw order Ctrl/Cmd + PgDwn

Push Options in Arrange Menu

Using the Push Tools

Select an object and one of the Push options to move the selected object in the draw order.

If you have more than one object selected, they'll each move in the draw order, but maintain their position in the order relative to one another — in other words, if you Push the third and fourth objects in your draw order to the front, they'll become the first and second objects.
