very new to this so please bare with me.
the draw order buttons, try as i might i can't find the button/icon to invoke the command. l've right clicked at the top of the screen to ensure all my tools are available, they're all ticked. so where are they?
thanks in advance
The buttons are called "Bring to Front", "Send to Back", etc. They appear on
the options bar only when you have a single element they are capable of
acting on selected. The set of elements they are capable of acting on is
very limited and does not include text or symbols.
Revit is apparently very new to this too. Good luck.

In the properties of the linked drawing, select "background".

there is, i want to send an acad drawing to the back as it's obscuring what

If when you imported it you said "this view only", that option might not be
there. Otherwise, there should be something near the bottom that says
Placement (or something) with the options of foreground or background.
(Sorry if the terms aren't exact, I'm not near Revit today.)

sorry, what do you mean "properties"?
element properties? because there doesn't seem to be an option to select
background.

We have talked to both our local reseller and the subscription help desk. The answer as of know is that there is no view order (send to back / send to front) for linked dwg and revit files.
There response as of now is to watch for this in future releases of the software. Which of course does not fix the problem you are having today.

i have revit structures 2008, and similarly, do not have this option.
i will try reattaching the linked file and as suggested by Kate M
will look for the option of placing in the back ground. it would also be nice if you could set a transparency of a linked file
similar to xrefs in acad.
thanks

Make sure you don't say "only in current view" when you link in the DWG.

In 2008 & 2009 - When you highlight the attached DWG file in a view, right click and select "element properties".
At the bottom you will see the Background-Foreground toggle.
Kate has given the completely opposite instructions to get this to work. When importing a DWG file, you MUST select "in this view only". Otherwise, the back/foreground option does not show up at all, either linked or imported. I checked it with both 2008 and 2009.
Yes, I have had the 'draw order' option available in the properties box ONLY when the cad file is linked with the 'current view only' option chosen.
It's a poorly thoughtout proceedure and it would be very helpful if Autodesk would solve this, and all the other visibility issues that make Revit so user un-friendly.
