David Seibert Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 when you select a few objects and use the navigation arrows at the top of the objects palette to highlight one of the objects in the selected group, why can't you move that object forward or backward? I often design in 2d elevation and have too many filled objects piled on top of each other. If I happen to marquee the correct hidden object, I can move it to the front and use it. It might be useful to rope an area and then scroll through the navigation arrow to highlight it and only move that object. Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Make them a group, edit the group, then 'bring to front' each item. Only a workaround, but it does what I think you are looking to do. Quote Link to comment
David Seibert Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Nah, I do that now. Can't we hit command-F (0r approved equal) while the object is highlighted in the object palette? Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I agree with you David it would be nice to have that feature. But here is a work around that may be easier for you than what you are now doing. Highlight the object you want, then go to the "Layer" pull down in the Info palette and change its layer to some other layer. Now you can switch to that layer, cut the selected object, switch back to the original layer and paste in place. Your object is now on top. Still a bit of work, but maybe useful.

David Seibert Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Now you're trying to lose my object on me. I'm no layer management freak when I'm doing schematics. In fact most of my objects are on one or two layers when I'm just batting some ideas around. It's all about speed and being able to print something out fast. Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 David, try the Wish List BB - you are asking for some new code to be written, and it would be a useful tool. Quote Link to comment
