How do you send items to back of screen?

Is there a way to move objects "back" (in other programs it is called "Send to Back")? I don't want to see my bar stools on top of my counters ... thanks

There is a "Move to Front" tool on the edit toolbar. Look for the black and white rectangles wint and arrow icon

Open up the counter top and check the "front group" box on the line style page. This should make it draw on top of the stools.

The problem with that is you will no longer see the dashed lines of the base cabinet. My solution is to eliminate the fill of the bar stools and put them on a dashed line layer. Not a perfect solution..... pick your poison.

Scott is correct. I could not find any good way to do this automatically. What you want is for the program to draw the bar stools first, then the custom counter, and then the base cabinets on top. Another workaround would be to make a copy of the counter top that is in the front group and resize it so that it only hides the stools.

We really need better control over the draw order of everything. Right now we have OK control over cad objects but as soon as you mix them with architectural objects, things get messy.
