Draw order issues with 2019

[swiss_william]

Hello,

I have issues with draw order in AutoCAD 2019.

Every single time I switch layout, I will take an hatch for this example but the same applies to say mtext with background or a dynamic block with a wipeout or even hidden lines, I mean it applies to all objects in every drawings, both in model space and in paper space, it automatically resets to be in the wrong and undesired position despite all the attempts I make to send it back.

This nasty draw order bug is as stubborn as the one I found with fractions, though the former seems to be much more resilient unlike the latter which seems as already be addressed with the last patch.

Any help beside the usual advice to roll back to 2018?

Thank you.

Hi @swiss_william,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I am having a hard time visualizing the behavior you describe. Can you make a quick Screencast Video that shows it so I can help?

Has the DRAWORDERCTL system variable been changed?

HPDDRAWORDER (1 is under all objects, 3 is behind boundary) affects how hatches are displayed.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions.

So far I have tried reverting to 0 on both and then back to 3 on the 2 sysvar, even restarting AutoCAD just to make sure, it doesn't seem to help really. No matter what the sysvar stipulates, the objects return to some new position every time I switch layout, which in my case is over the objects instead of under as I am desperately trying to retain.

Again thanks for your suggestions. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers and have a nice day,

Re-create items in your needed order or search for a third part extension which can do that.

(you will not find a perfect tool and now really good for less)

If you can not programming, not found such a tool and you only have simple objects without

important association like hatch&boundary, associated dimensions or fields

Just copy objects by window selection after edited draworder, or select objects in wanted draworder and delete the source objects.

This worked in the first draworder-Version toll today in version2019.

The objects creating is in the same order like your current draworder (or selection order)

Bit association dims, hatches, field loosing there reference object.

You can use simple Menumacro if you can not create these steps in Lisp or another language.

Example which not handle locked Layers and many more sometimes important things.

^C^C_.SELECT;\_.COPY;_p;;_non;0,0,0;@;_.ERASE;_p;;

it's the wipeout and draw order in 2019. This is a north arrow block with a wipeout panel. Works well in all other versions of acad

The 2019.1.2 update is supposed to fix the problem: ou have that installed already? ABOUT command will tell you.

I'm using C3D 2019.1.3 and the draw order issue still persists.
