Arranging objects

Stacking order

Stacking order tools are located next to the Clip tool and Create Symbol. Changing the stacking order repositions elements on the Z-axis.

  1. Bring Forward   / CTRL  
  2. Send Backward   / CTRL  

You can also access menu-command equivalents: Modify > Arrange > Bring Forward and Modify > Arrange > Send Backward.

These buttons move elements one layer down or up relative to other elements on the canvas.

These operations won’t move an object outside of a group, symbol, compound object, or layer group which they are a part of.

Note: You can press / SHIFT + / CTRL +   or / SHIFT + / CTRL +   to move an object directly to the top or bottom of a group, symbol, compound object, or layer group which they are a part of.

You can also access menu-command equivalents: Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front and Modify > Arrange > Send to Back.
