AutoCAD 2013/2014 DWG Format

[#1]

Is anyone else having problems with AutoCAD 2013 not recognizing the draw order command?  Specifically the "Bring to Front" command.

[#2]

YES !

It does NOT  seem to be as reliable as in 2012 !

Sometimes it works sometimes it dosn't !

I thought they were to improve this not make it worse!

I depend on this to function properly for my plots.

It does not seem to behave differently here from 2012/2011: sometimes you have to send everything else TO BACK and it appears 2013 continues this limitation.

[#4]

If I use order from tools menu or from icons the answer is "

Command: Unknown command "AI_DRAWORDER". Press F1 for help.
Command: Unknown command "ABOVE". Press F1 for help."

So, I cannot use draw order. Is it because is trial version?

[#5]

I have found that if you type the command draworder in the command line it will work.  It's aggravating, but is a workaround until Autodesk fixes the problem.

[#6]

Did you allow it to 'migrate' when installing? You need to manually change AI-DRAWORDER to DRAWORDER in the CUI menu, then it will be the same as the 'typed' instruction given above.

It's OK! Thank you.

[#8]

That worked for me!  Thank you!

The problem in AutoCAD 2013 is not actually the DRAWORDER command.

It is the commands called: Front, Back, Above and Under.

These commands are part of Draworder and the icons associated with these commands don't work.

Works fine here: see screenshot.

See second screenshot attached, the CUI is OOTB and not custom.

All are plain AutoCAD 2013 OOTB so far, I did not Migrate or substitute any menus. So I would have to suspect the installation procedure or a unique install or setup option may have dropped some key AutoCAD file needed. A full removal and reinstall would give you the basic setup we all have.
