To assign a z-value to an object:
1. Select an object or group of objects to elevate.
2. Select the Z-Merge Tool in the Toolbox.
3. Select Z-Merge.
4. Assign a value to the elevation of the object or objects using the Z-Elevation
slider.
Note: Any object with a z-value will appear to be positioned higher in the stack than
an object without a z-value, even if the object without a z-value is positioned
higher in the Layer Manager.
Now that objects have been assigned z-values, they can interact with each other
instead of sliding independently over and under one another.
Notes:
• When multiple Z-Merged objects are selected, the Z-Elevation slider box will
display the z-value of the object with the lowest z-value.
• If the value in the Z-Elevation slider box is changed, the new value will be
applied to only the lowest z-value object. All other selected objects will
calculate their new value by adding the difference between its original z-value
and the lowest object's original z-value, to the new value entered in the box.
(See illustration.)
• To reset all objects to zero, click Reset.
