AutoCAD order of objects and text dimensions
Tuesday, August 23, 2005
In my current job I use a lot of solid hatches and I noticed that when printing, I can spend one hour or more changing the DRAWORDER of all dimensions in the drawing.
After doing some research I discovered the TEXTTOFRONT command, that brings all text and dimensions to the front without having to select them all first, which is an amazing improvement compared to the DRAWORDER command where you must first select all the text and dimensions in the drawing and then use the "Front" option.To use this command you must type on the command line TEXTTOFRONT and then choose one of the three options:
Bring to front [Text/Dimension/Both]
This is truly a very simple command to use which will save lots of time in future projects.
Until next time,
Fernando
