Paper space objects keep going under wipeout

[Anonymous]

I have a drawing with a couple objects in paper space in the layouts that I put a wipeout behind (also in paper space). I did draworder and sent the wipeout to the back so the objects would be on top of it. I have this in several tabs.

Every time I close the drawing and reopen it, the objects are UNDER the wipeout. I've fixed this with draworder 3 times now and it keeps doing it again every time I close the drawing and reopen it. Is there some way to fix this?

There are similar issues with draw order being retaining inside blocks.

My work around is usually to copy the object I want above the wipeout and delete the original.

So how do you do that? Bring it to the front then copy and paste?

[AdammReilly]

Just use the copy command. All new entities are put at the top of the draw order stack, so it's automatically brought above your wipeout. Once you copy it, delete the original object.

The point is that the copy is newer, thus it will be on top.

Hello,

if you are using Civil 3d (Not vanilla AutoCAD!) assign the wipeout a layer that is different from the text layer and configure the layer order by using the “layerorder” command to ensure the text layer takes precedence over the wipeout layer.

hope this helps,
