I can't use a previous selection set to lock layers as it doesnt recognise the command when locking (working on autoCAD 2015).Īny help/advice is appreciated even if just links to a particular tutorial. Immediately all the text drops to the bottom and is hidden below the desks? We have a serious layer bloat issue so the only way I know to mass lock layers is to -LA command, Lock, * (all), enter. So now all my text is in the correct order I need to freeze what i'm not working on. Next i'll run a quickselect on everything but the text, exclude from new selection set, draw order, bottom. This normally puts everything on the bottom for some reason? So I regen the drawing and probably 10% of the text moves to the top.

This forces all hatches in the drawing to be displayed behind all other objects. Mtext objects are placed over desks on a separate layer to indicate the desk address ID and no matter how I spin it I can't get them to sit 'at the top' so to speak. I constantly find myself using draw order to try to put relevant information on the top of the drawing as the drawings lack any semblance of the layer control that is needed to maintain them. AutoCAD blocks in plan and elevation view. I have inherited the worst set of furniture configuration drawings I have ever had the misfortune of using but unfortunately I am currently working alone where there should be a headcount of 3, as such I don't have time to redraw everything from the ground up. Ionic order is one of the classical orders of classical architecture, which originated in the 6 th century BC in Ionia is an ancient region of central coastal Anatolia. I am self taught so I may be missing something obvious. I'm looking for advice on using the DRAWORDER command as it's not working how I feel it should and either i'm missing something or need to find a workaround. Autocad ImageToBack command Selects all images in the drawing, including jpeg, png, and tiff files, and sets their draw order to be behind all other objects.
