Added control is available for certain objects:
The draw order of all text, dimensions, and leaders in the drawing can be
specified separately. (TEXTTOFRONT)
The draw order of all hatches and fills in the drawing can also be specified
separately. (HATCHTOBACK)
NOTE Overlapping objects cannot be controlled between model space and paper
space. They can be controlled only within the same space.
Control the Display of Objects
Control the display of objects by isolating or hiding a selection set.
Use ISOLATEOBJECTS and HIDEOBJECTS to create a temporary drawing view
with selected objects isolated or hidden. This saves you the time of having to
track objects across layers. If you isolate objects, only the isolated objects
appear in the view. Use UNISOLATEOBJECTS to redisplay the objects. When
you close and reopen the drawing, all previously hidden objects are displayed.
Use the OBJECTISOLATIONMODE system variable to control whether objects
remain hidden between drawing sessions.
Use Precision Tools
You can use a variety of precision drawing tools to help you produce accurate
drawings quickly and without performing tedious calculations.
Work with the User Coordinate System (UCS)
The UCS is the active coordinate system that establishes the XY plane (work
plane) and Z-axis direction for drawing and modeling.
