Objects in front / behind others

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

Objects can be arranged in layers, one on top of another. If an object is masked by another, then

it will need to be moved out of the way.

 

The easiest way to do this is to select the one that is in the way and then use Move to Back or Move Back from the Object menu, which will reveal the one behind.

 

However, an alternative way to select the object(s) underneath is to click the top object

WITHOUT MOVING THE MOUSE click again. The object underneath will be selected even though you might not be able to see it. (If you hold the mouse button and drag, the object underneath will move)

Subsequent clicks without moving the mouse selects successive layers down.

This shows the second object selected:

 

grp_obj1

 

 

Objects can be locked to prevent them being moved unintentionally.
