This command allows you to change the display order of a image that has been
imported into the drawing. Changing the display order will change whether
other entities in the drawing are displayed in front of or behind the image.
Entities that are displayed behind an image may not be visible.
When this command is selected, you are prompted in the text window at the
bottom of the main program window, to select items. These items are the
images whose display order will be changed. Left-click on the image that is
obscuring your partitions, to select it, then right click. You will receive a
prompt in the text window asking how the display order is to be changed.
Typing 'B' for back, and hitting the return key will move the partitions to the
back of all other visible entities. Use of the other options, that is, moving
images to the front, or putting them above or below specific partitions, is not
recommended.
